37g Eclipse Tank, Deal or No?

[jimmygoogots]

I just bought a 37 gallon eclipse tank for 99 bucks. It says it was originally 209. Is there a reason they were kind of giving them away? I'm also just curious if anyone has this tank and if so, how is it?

No deal I can buy a 55 gallon tank for 99

No deal I can buy a 55 gallon tank for 99

If i'm not mistaken, the eclipse comes as a kit with everything (hood, light, filter, whatever)

 

[jimmygoogots]

yea, maybe I shouldve said that. it was the kit. light and filter included.

if you bought it new, it was a pretty good deal. You should be able to buy that set up used off craigslist for 50-75 bucks

I agree, for new it's pretty good. drsfostersmith.com sells the Eclipse 3 hood without the tank for $106.99, I believe you have the same hood.

Full set up its pretty good, but tank by itself its not

 

[AshtonMitchell]

Decent deal. You can get it cheaper though.

Jump on it it's a good deal esp. in your area

I got another question.
It sounds like this biowheel filtration...doohickey..is God's gift to the hobby. What do you guys think about it? Is it as good as they make it sound?
