so i'd like to upgrade and there is a tank in the classified forums... it's not as close to me as i'd like but do-able.

"65 gal tall measures 36"L by 18"W by 24"tall. this comes with a 96 watt pc light for growing live plants.Included is tank/stand oak finish. 2 filters,1 Acuaclear 110, and 1 Magnum 350 canister filter. 1 300 watt heater."

it's set up FW planted... i could use the pc on my 75g FW tank, the tank comes with live plants so i could take them and tranfer them to my fw tank. i have no use for the filters. the tank is a oceanic which i like but he wants $200, tho im sure i'd get him to come down on it. what would you pay?

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. I bet you would be able to bring down the price as well.
For some reference:
This one got sold already, but I thought this was a good deal.

Keep an eye on the Chicago forum, you can usually find a good deal.
