LOL they could have at least cleaned it off for the picture! :p: :D I seriously don't think that is a good deal $75? Yeah right. And what could you keep in that tiny thing? I don't even think the fish they said would work are good for such a small tank, but I don't know much about SW. Still for a SW you usually want a bigger system to be stable.
As for price, I'm sure you could buy all the things they offer and more if you went to the store and bought them separately. You could prolly get a bigger tank too. What a joke.:rolleyes:
And then they say you could also turn it into freshwater. So... Why would I buy an overpriced SW tank from them when I could buy one for 30 dollars in the store new? In this case you don't even get the benefit of it being an "established" aquarium. This person is either looking for a sucker or has their heads in the clouds.

your tank looks better even for a 1 gallon and i would not pay 175 or even 75 for a tank that size can get a 30 gallon with all the contraptions for the same price around st. paul minneapolis.

I actually came across that auction looking for a little setup, just not THAT one LOL Unless he put live sand in there, it couldn't be very established. Even then.....
I'm thinking of setting up a little tank in my bedroom with just rock :)

175 can get you a 55 gallon freshwater with everything included on craigslist (if you can find a good deal of course)
