| Not a bad price as long as it doesn't leak and the stand looks good.Make sure it doesn't leak and the stand is not rusted.You can always get the top and lights later on.Just check it out before you pay for it. |

| If you can, try to find out the age. Tanks last a long time and sometimes we will overlook the age if its a good deal. You dont want a 20 year old tank with 20 year old seals.
But that's just my opinion. |

| Price is good if the glass is good. You can always reseal it, and depending on age, you may want to do that even if it currently holds water. If the glass is in good shape, and the stand is solid, the rest of the equipment can be found for little to nothing. |

| Resealing isnt hard, its just a super pain in the Arse! Especially a tank that size. But for that price its worth it. |
