A LFS is selling a used 20 gallon sump with an Iwaki md40lxt pump and a E.T.S.S. skimmer for $250. I'm not exactly sure what model # the skimmer is but I'm pretty sure it's the Evolution model. Is this good equipment?

I am going to get back into the Marine tank hobby after a 15 year break. I'm gooing to run a 90-100 gallon FOWLR setup.

Does this sound like a good price on this setup, and more importantly will it be good enough for the size tank I want. Like I said I haven't had a tank in quite awhile and the sump systems are something that really wasn't around when I kept a salt tank. ANY help or advise is appreciated.

THANX!

The pump is a good model--not sure about the price though? I would want a bigger sump than a 20 on a 90 gallon tank, but that's just me. Maybe check www.marinedepot.com, www.championlighting.com and www.bigalsonline.com for price comparisons.
