You guys are kidding me. Thats pretty steep for Craigslist. I have a 96g glass tank and a 112 acrylic that I purchased from the site, and I didn't pay over $170 for either of them.
Wait a bit, there will be a better deal. GUARANTEED.
My first shot at CL netted me a 96g(advertised as 100g!
)for $160. It came with a HUGE box of supplies, meds, ornaments etc... Too bad most of the meds were expired or too obscure to do me any good. I ended up ditching pretty much everything that came with it except for the stand and canopy. It cost me a nice sized chunk of cash to get it to where it is now.
My most recent puchase was the 112(advertised as a 125g!
..see a pattern?) which came with EVERYTHING except the fish at a hefty price of $170. When I say everything, I mean everything....
2 eheim cannisters- 2226 & 2227wet/dry.
Nice lighting- Icecap ballasts and newish tubes. around 2.8 wpg.
2 eheim heaters
Meds and cleaning supplies-some meds were good.
3 boxes of unused filter media for eheim filters.
The people selling were moving out of state and had to get rid of it.
I check the CL often, and there is always a few deals floating around on there. You just have to look at them all and wait. In my opinion, $400 isn't much of a deal when it comes to CL. $500 is around the average.
Most folks on craigslist don't really know what their tank is worth, and that can work both ways. Either it's overpriced or surprisingly cheap.
