I found a listing on craigslist that had this 180 being sold with all livestock for $450.
here's the ad:
180 gallon reef ready tank. All glass. Sump, 4 sets of 7" socks. 1480 gph pump, also included is an ATO system. Ehiem 300 watt heater, another 300 watt heater. Stand. Sand substrate, large amount of holey rock. 2 large pieces of driftwood. 2 72" beamswork led lights. Beamswork LED 1W 6500K HI Lumen Aquarium Light Freshwater Plant (DHL 72 6500K)
I will include all livestock. 2 Large oscars, both over 10". A large banded leparanus, large lace cat. One large channel cat. 2 large Bala sharks. 2 10+" plecos. The rest is full of cichlids. At least 45-50. 5 parrots I believe, two of which are king Kong, one south Texas cichlid, a dozen or so convicts, doz or so yellow labs, doz or so OB cichlids and some other misc. If you do not wish to have the fish included, I will need enough time from your purchase to move the fish to another home/pet store as I will not flush them.
I wanna buy the tank just to rehome all the fish for a bit of cash back, but $450 is hard to come by without having a kinda high paying job. I also want to cheap out and remove some stuff, then negotiate. what should I do? and you think I could get the whole thing for like $100 then pay $100 every two months? My parents might actually pay up once I show them how much an empty 180 costs with no equipment. I will be rehoming the fish, probably selling or giving to lfs, don't worry, I'll sell starting at most problematic fish then going to least problematic, so If I give too many fish and no stores accept them for money or store credit I won't have to worry about overstocking as much as the guy before.
last question, what would you price the fish and maybe equipment at? I hope you understand that If I can buy this tank i'll be scraping the absolute bottom of the barrel, so I need to make the most money possible back.
