Got a buddy at work that is big into the SW side of things. We were talking the other day and I was telling him that i wanted to get into the sw side myself. That I was setting up a 10G tank that i was going to set up. Now all I have for that is the tank and a 20g filter nothing else. He stopped me the other day and told me he had a 10g tank that he had as a SW tank at one time that had everything, oversized filter, powerhead, sand, a 100+ dollar light, just no LR and he would sell it all to me for 75 bucks. Does that seem like a good deal to yall. Seems good to me since the light is hardly used and could be worth around that by itself, but I want yalls opinions
 
sounds alright but you need to find out exactly what light it is, could be a cfl, could be a metal halide
 
need to know what light it is.......then we can tell you if its a good deal
 
Type of EVERYTHING. You need to be more specific. What EXACTLY is it, how old, what condition ect...
 
alright filter is a marineland HOB, he wasnt sure exactly what type off the top of his head. Ive got a whisper C HOB that is for a 20g tank if I need it.

Light is a current usa housing with a dual actinic/dual 10k power compact

Was run for 4-5 months at his house, then was moved to his wifes work for 6ish months. He pulled the LR and water out and put it aside. Still has the sand in the bottom.
 
Meh.

www.aquatraders.com - You can buy metal halide lights here NEW for that price. Not to mention, you already have a filter/heater and a tank. So why dont you just ask him what he wants for his rock? Unless its already dead. In which case I would offer $10 for the rock and the sand.

Buy a new light on the cheap at the above website.
 
Well since it doesnt have the rock anymore, I think Ill take your advise and get started with what I already have. I still need to get a small heater though. Sand/crushed coral will be cheap enough to get.

Thanks for the info
