I just purchased a 225 from a listing I found on Ebay......Tank looks brand new, I couldn't find a single scratch. Anyways, oak cabinet stand, glass tops, light, heaters, tank and......Fluval FX5 all for $650. I thought is was an excellent price. I will post pics when I get it set up. It is still in a trailer in my driveway. I have to switch over my 125 gallon set up (any advice on doing this?)...

(The FX5 had the baskets and all hardware, but no media, so that set me back $50).
 
Set it up yesterday. Took about 7 hours to do the swap.....No casualties yet. I am VERY impressed with the FX5....I had the Rena XP3 on my 125....I would say the FX5 is 25 times more powerful.....Not 25%, 25 times!!!! Unbelievable!!!! Anyways, I will try to take some pics....Background is not on yet, and I need to add more rocks, but you will get the general idea.

Again, WOW, to the FX5.
 
wow 650$ is an awsome deal ive seen used 75 gallon tanks goin for that price with no stand what ebay seller did you purchase this from? i will have to look into getting a larger tank.cant wait to see pics congrats on the deal man
 
It was from an individual, used tank, not a single scratch.....It belonged to the seller's brother, who lost his house and was selling off a bunch of stuff.
 
That's an excellent deal. What did you pick for media in your FX5? Running just the sponges and bio? Any other filtration? Looking forward to pics as well.
