Info on Via Aqua system

[Private_J0ker]

I have been looking into starting a large tank of Africans.
While at the dealer i noticed his Via Aqua show tank, ( 60x18 aprox. 105 gallon). For $1300 sytem includes oak stand, tank, powerhead, triple light, and canopy with the filter sytem built into it. Any info, pro or con would be apreciated.

What sort of "built - in" filter does it have?

EDIT: Oh BTW, Welcome to AC! ;)

Ok thats to much money for that the tanks were quoted at 499 to me at a LFS so thats one spendy stand.
Second the company who makes them also make all the cheap stuff like lees,rio pumps and other stuff that fails.
Third the wet/dry system is grossly under sized and NOT in anyway upgradeable without cutting it.
fourth the triple light is fixed in place so its shining in the front all the time causes lots of algae on the faceglass only:rolleyes:
I almost bought one the the LFS owner told me why I didnt want it:D He must like me as he sold like 12 more after he let me in on the probs.
