I guess it all depends on the deals in your area, I've seen some really good deals up in my area...but at the same time I did find an 8g for $350 with no light...if its a good deal for you then go for it. I know that if I see a good deal to me, then I will go for it. If it seems like to much to you try and bargain...
good call. I own the same tank and the glass is very thick. it would probably have had to have been dropped in order to lose a chunk like that. or perhaps hit with a golf club.. Tiger Wood's wife didn't own it right?
