I'm somewhat new to the marine world. i made the mistake of starting off with a 12 gallon nano that was a disaster. still have my 2 clowns in it but i wanted to up grade to a bigger tank.

I've been in the market for awhile now and my mom came across a deal i couldent refuse.

it included:

-90 gallon oceanic tank with overflow box.
-a Pro Clear Aquatic sump, with built in skimmer - http://www.pro-clear.com/images/wetdrypro/pro150wd.jpg
-a heater
-stand/canopy
and a basic light bar and glass top.

All this was originally priced at $2200 dollars, we got it for $999, to me, this sounds like a steal. all the other tanks, even the 75 gallons were around 2 grand.

What do you think? good deal or not?
 
Overflow Box (Hang on back or built in)?

My only concern is built in Skimmer/Sump combo. I typically like to go with the best builders of each piece of the system. When you go combo you may be cheating yourself on efficiency.

Figure the tank, stand & canopy are worth the $1000, then all other items are extra and savings if you can use them.
 
Brand new, yea i was abit iffy on the sump system, but it seemed like a good deal.
This is my first sump btw. i was aiming to get a Marineland sump and skimmer, but i think this will do.

Oh, the overflow is built in, i'll get some pictures up soon if i can.
 
Here are some pictures:
