180 Gallon in Salem Oregon - Should I Buy?

[JK47]

This is NOT mine, I want to buy it... I just had to sell all of my tanks because we are moving into a rental house and I can only have one tank per my lease and I want it to be a 180. There are not that many good deals around in Oregon on tanks that size right now. This one is $800 (CL add below). I know that's a high price, would you pay that much or wait for a better deal? I've already contacted the person and I don't want to waste either of our time but I think that's high considering the 2 hour drive to pick it up. What would you do?

We know you have the passion, all you should need is the cash

I saw this too. If I could sell my tank, I would not hesitate to get it. To me its a deal. You're getting a complete set up along with an awsome pump and 2 hob filters.

First: Find out more details about the acrylic tank. Who makes it and the material used. If it's less than .5" acrylic on the side, I'll pass.

Overall, it's not a bad price for a full setup. Just note that big tanks don't sell easily so there is probably some room in the price as well.

I think I will end up buying this tank. The seller told me that he guesses that the acrylic is 1/3" thick. I'll pass if that's the case. I have a feeling it's 1/2", so I am going to just have to make the drive and see for myself.

I've never heard of the manufacturer is called "AquaView Aquariums". I could not find anything tnhey make over 5 gallons unless the spelling is wrong. Anyone have experience with this company?

I belive half inch ends up bowing out. You want 3/4 inch.
