Good price?

Have the chance to pick up the following for 500.00

75 gallon Oceanic tank pro drilled with built in overflow
Oceanic tank stand
USA 100 gallon wet/dry
2 protein skimmers 1 Oceanic the other brand I forget
Coral Life 260 watt dual lighting fixture
2 lg. return pumps 1 Rio 1 Eheim
2 sm. circulation pumps brands I forget
1 acrylic reef fish capture tool

That's the "meat" of the package. Various additives, fittings, tubes are included. All items are used and in good working order. Would anyone jump at this??
Thanks

Sounds like a pretty fair deal. I wouldn't exactly say it's a rock bottom offer on used stuff. Most of it's pretty good quality though and if you were going to buy it new it would cost a little more than 2x what they are asking . Just a couple words of caution though. 1. loose the Rio's they are crap and will kill lots of stuff when they a overheat to the nth degree or b. overheat and blow oil all over the place. 2. Ask the seller if they have ever treated the tank with copper based meds . If they have you probably can't get it all out of the calking and you won't be able to keep corals or crustaceans. 3. Replace bulbs for the lighting if they are over 1 to 1.5 years old. 4. Be more cautious if you don't know the seller fill the tank with fresh water to make sure it doesn't leak etc. 5. :) WELCOME TO AC CENTRAL!!!!! :) it's one of the best resources on the web but, hey I'm just a touch biased

Thanks. Gonna offer 425.00 for it since the light fixture is 1yr old and will need new bulbs. Previous owner has had it torn down for about 6 weeks and had a reef so I think no copper but is one question I will be sure to ask. I have heard the rep about Rio and will use it only to circulate water for changes. This would be a major upgrade from my 30 but I MUST HAVE MORE ROOM!

Thanks again
