2 rena xp3's ( And I haven't decided yet if i will let the eheim 2260 go with it)

I would pay $800 for that right now. I know that sounds low but those are the kind of prices I am willing to pay or pass in my area. I just sold a show quality acrylic 220 gallon for $600. This is a tough economy and even worse it's the xmas season. cash =
in 99% of households.. If you want to command a higher price can I suggest you wait until the tax return season? You'll double your money when people have disposable income and dream tanks in mind.JK47;4687711; said:I would pay $800 for that right now.

That sounds good to me I fig I could only get around 500 for it.

Don't sell yourself too short bro. At least get it out there for $800 with the filter you have and get talked down a little. I really stand by waiting until tax season if you want more. I could get $1,500 out of the same setup here by waiting 60 days. Just saying if your upgrading recoop as much cash as you can.
What would you upgrade too??? I agree with the others, wait till everyone gets their tax return. You are gonna need the extra cash if you plan on going bigger...!
I'm going from a 240 to a 500 and the cost is significantly greater!!!

You would really let that driftwood go that easy? $500 is TOO low, especially with stand, filters, lighting, fish and that beast of a piece of driftwood. I would say $1000 min, but start much higher.
Would like to get a tall wide 6 foot tank. Like a 540. The drift would wouldn't fit in there and I can always find another bad ass piece of drift wood.
I was looking at the Pic. of the cabinet open and I didn't see any diagonal bracing or sheeting on the back for lateral support , I turned a dresser into a stand for my 125 and I added vertical supports but also glued and nailed some 1/8 " plywood on the back for about 1/3 of each corner to avoid any side to side movement or possible colapse after being filled , just a thought for when you build a new one .
It doesnt need it. There is 1x12s as the sides and I have 1 vertical 2x4's every 8 inches. It is very study. it does not budge at all.
