the more realistic price would be around $150.

9/19/2007 9:27:18 PM

but the more TWW price would be about $49.95

^^ what do you base $150 off of......let me know so I can inform him to adjust his price accordingly......remember it comes with everything

It's based off my extensive looking at craig's list. As many aquarists will tell you, you pay alot for the equipment, but they don't have much resale value.

Also, for saltwater tanks, hexagonal tanks are not very popular. They are hard to clean, and if using live rock as the biological filter (highly recommended), it's hard to set up the rock and leave room for the cleaners. This tank is also very tall, giving a low water/air surface for gas exchange, and hex shapes make creating dead zones with the water pumps very easy.

Even petstores have problems reselling saltwater tanks. The 90-gallon display tank setup at Petco is valued at $2100 new, and it's on clearance for $800 becasue they can't get rid of it.

^ no, its priced at that because the company said we had to break them down and get rid of them ASAP. i've sold 3 of the 54 corners for 400 with tank, stand, light, filter.
