125 Gallon - Should I buy it?

[Egon]

Because its your friend, you also know how old of a tank your dealing with and how it was maintained. Sometimes when you buy used you find surprises that you may not have known about. Like every one else has said the 3 filters alone make the purchase worthwhile.

Good points! You know the guy so that adds value. You know for sure it holds water and so on.....

id say no... 125s right now in my area go for 200-300 right now..


i can get a new 125 from a LFS for 550

125 Gallon Tank with Glass Top, Light, Stand $549.99


when the price of a used tank is close to the price of a new tank i dont care what comes with it.. i say 350 cap on a used 125..

Here is a picture of the tank and stand. He has the canopy sitting on the floor. It looks black in the picture but it is a redwood color. Probably looks black, because he took the picture on his Iphone. He purchased 2 more XP3s 2 months ago, which aren't shown in this picture.

It might be worth it, if you actually needed 3 XP3's.

I found my 165 on CL this weekend right there close to you. It wasnt in as good a condition as that one, but it held water and the glass was scratch free. Im totally restoring it before i set up though. I scored the tank, stand, and a fluval 204 for 50 bones. Check out my restore thread.....not to derail.

Thats kind of what I was thinking. I was going to put one of them on each of my 75 gallon aquariums (2 total) and then put the third one on my 55 at work. I would take my FX5 from one of my 75 gallon tanks and put it on the 125. This was one idea that I was throwing around.

I can get them for about the same price here as well, but the higher end stand with canopy usually runs abour $250 or so more. Honestly not sure If I even need the tank, but I always seem to add more fish.

Sounds like a great price. Usually 55s and 75s go for that around here.

A used XP3 at a good price should be around $50-$60 at the most if bought seperate.
