What would this cost?

If it were me, I would wait for a bigger tank. You said this one was 20" width right? Is it glass or acrylic? I like to keep big fish and 20" isnt enough. I would wait for at least a 180 acrylic -- 6x2x2.

I bought my 240 acrylic with stand and sump for $1000 and I know people who've bought their 240's for less. It really dependsnon your area though. I live by L.A. so there are many used tanks here but yoyr area might not have so many and 1500 is a fair price ovr there. In my area though, I would wait for a better deal for a bigger tank.

Fx6?! And its by fluval? An upgraded fx5? Sounds AWESOME! Now i go to spread the word!

It better be by Fluval unless they sold the rights for someone to use the name....Kind of reminds me of Playstation and iPhone with the higher numbered models always coming out.

That's a lot of money for a tank and whatever features it has,
I payed $300 for my little brother 200g tank setup for his bday,came with everything!! But to each it's own

Its not retail price, if you add it up- a fx5 (which fx6 will just be a little more whenever its released here) are $250 on amazon x2, all the professional stands I have looked at are very expensive so Im going to just say $800 sand + canopy, the drilled tank is on the price sheet for $1300 which sounds insane but I see a 165g on a website for $1000, im not sure how much the fluval 36" LED light fixtures are but its the top performance model that is supposed to get a wide spectrum of light x4 (i think conservatively you can call them $100), 2x hydor 1650 powerheads for 90 each, a custom already placed and fit 3D background for 300, plus black sand/ decor. With prices close to this the retail would seem about $3000 buying all the pieces from amazon. All the equipment will, the glass box wont since its too easy to damage moving and moving it is up to me. Going to try and get them to 1500, I feel more comfortable paying closer to 1/2 the retail price. One of the big draws for me is Im not creative at all and I want a nice tank. Generally if I get a tank and try to add stuff to it to make it what I see in my head it doesnt work out that way and my tank just looks crappy lol so with this its at least professionally done and I just have to stock it (the only part I can do well ). With dims like this it is a 165g tank right? I lose a little to the background but not much

Thought you were insinuating that you were paying three grand for the set up which is full retail. $1500 is a great price considering what you are getting. Especially if the stand and canopy are nice. Most people don't figure that in either.
