Not too bad for $450. Just depends on what things go for in your area.

LOL- It would actually be replacing the 75gal in my sig.

Really? are acrylic tanks that Expensive? It comes with a Fluval 101 and 404. So it's not like it come with and FX5....

Well I can get a 190 setup complete for 600-700... I can get a 180 gallon Acrylic (just the tank) for 550 NEW with only a couple of tiny sdcratches in a low Very inconspicuous area....

Does that sound like the 95gal acrylic setup is in the same "range" of logical purchases in my area? Seriously, I'm not sure?

In my area people ask a lot for tanks. It took me over a year of searching to find my 210g that I am still in the process of setting up. It was a glass tank, stand and glass tops for $500. The good part was that it had never been set up; all new with the fish store tags and prices still on them. The guy had spent over $1400 for it all. It was worth it to me because it was clean and I did not have to reconfigure another persons set up for my needs. It was a blank slate ready for me to use.

Honestly it sounds like tanks are a bit cheaper in your area. The 95g is a good deal for all that it has for $450. But if you can get a complete 190g for $600ish that seems to be a better choice to me. That is double the tank for only $150+.

Right. So would it matter if the 190 was for glass? Or should try for a 180gal acrylic that is going for 550? just the tank? Basically mint. Never drilled or filled. Just a couple of Small scratches VERy Low on one side.

Acrylic tanks win for me every time. They're easier to move around. Hold heat better than glass. They're optically clear, no green tint to your fish. No silicone to stain with meds. Easily drilled and scratches are easily removed. They do scratch easy, but once you know how to work with them scratching is easy to avoid.
