I was looking at this and wondering if this souds like a good deal. The tanks look very clean, but I've never heard of those filters.
The lady said they both have Aqueon 2O filters and one has a 100 w submersable heater and the other is 100 w hang on back heater.
Lights that came with the setup. The stand looks pretty neat, too.

I personally wouldn't pay 135 for that. They look cool but not $135 cool. You can talk them down lower than that;)

I wouldn't pay that much either.
And Aqueon power filters are awful.

Of course the important thing here is need, use and application. If you feel this set up meets the parameters of what you want or need, then pursue a discount and total price of no more then $100 and leave your name and number. Keep in mind that you will be doing allot of bending over and kneeling work for that bottom tank. I cant understand why people don't take the responsibility to empty their own aquariums of fish before selling, I think its a real negative in finding an adoptive buyer to pay money and take on the role of adoptive fish rescuer.

I love getting down on the floor and watching my fish in the bottom tank. But 100.00 would be great if you can talk them down.

+1...
this is one of the things that makes me very angry about used fish stuff
I have even seen people say "fish included.. if you dont want em then flush them or something"
how irresponsible is that?.. if you are mean enough to just flush them.. at least do it yourself.. lol

Wow, lot's to think about. I wondered about the filters. I, too, was worried about the fish, but when I emailed her she said that the fish would not be going with the tanks. Said she did have a couple of Angels for sale. I want to do my own stocking.
I really wanted at lease a 40 breeder and maybe a 20. I think she's asking too much, after hearing all the good input from you guys. Thanks, I'll keep looking.
