OK, I am about ready to order an all-glass 180 w/ stand. I can get the tank with dual over flows and stand for a little over 1k. There is a fish store in another town about 120 miles from me that takes trade in's. A guy just bought a 240 from them and traded in his 170. It is 72x18x30. I was really wanting a 24" wide tank but this one might work great as a cichlid tank or a community pirahna tank. It comes with tank, stand, sump, pumps, lights. It is basically a turn key tank. I don't know much of the specs but am trying to get a general concensus on the value. What would you think would be a fair price for this setup, I'm not talking "steal" price, but a good fair value. Here are some crappy pics that the store owner texted me of the pictures off his wall.

????????? Did you read the thread? I listed exact size above. :) Maybe I was unclear how I wrote it. The 180 I am about to order is 72x24x25. This trade in that I might get instead is 72x18x30.
 
That's a odd size because of the height.. I think it's worth 700.00-800.00.. much harder to figure out pricing since stand/everything included. It's worth to the right person alot, and to the wrong person nothing.

I edited my reply to yours, I might have written it a little unclear. :)

Just saw your edit.....cichla is right....Is the tank glass? the 170?

I iz always right. :)


j/k :)

Spizz looks glass to me. And I'm guessing by the size not perfecto/aga/or even oceanic but a tank from a smaller manufactuer/custom job??
 
Yes, it's glass. I'm guessing it was custom built. The shop where it was traded in builds tanks which is where he got it new. I know the info is vague at best. I found out what he is asking for it, and it sounds a little high. He wants 1200.00. Unfortunately I'm not in Cali where there are cheap monsters everywhere.
 
I don't think I would pay 800 for it....600 TOPS!!!!
