sounds like one awesome deal! Congrats :)
 
What the hell is a rena xp1000? Good deal though!! Id be pumped as well!!
 
Awesome deal, look forward to seeing some pictures once you have everything up and running.
 
I cant wait either, I have to re-arrange my computer room and build a new desk for comps, wife wont let me have 2 tanks out in the main part of the house.
 
Well two more days till I can get my tank, I have to run to Menards for some floor jacks tonight and wire a new receptical. I'm getting really anxious... had a little problem with seller for a day or so he diddn't want to wait till Sunday for me to come get it even tho I was first caller, but all is good and I'm pumped to get this tank. I still havnt seen any pictures of the tank or stand .. makes me a little leary of the deal for the price but the guy sounds like he knows what he is doing and hopefully I get a really good deal. I'm excited just to post some pictures on here once I get it all set up and show everybody!!
 
I just went through a 2 1/2 month Craigslist tank quest. While Craigs List is the source of some amazing deals, like the dread pirate Roberts said in the Princess Bride, "Get used to disappointment."

I had a guy willing to trade me even up my 75 gallon set up for his 135. He waffled and vaporized. I was moments from renting a van to do the deal.

I finally found a 125 stand, tank, top and lights for $300 ($75 off because his previous buyer was yet another CL liar) Found an XP3 on ebay for $50 and all the rest (UG filter+ 2 powerheads+ titanium heater) on ebay for another $100.

Still think its a good deal and the best part is I actually got it. Please post up again to share your joy when the deed is done!
And of course now I have to find fish! You got a leg up there too. At least I have alot of options here, African cichlids are most popular here!
