Craigslist find

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the forum but I thought this would be a great
opportunity to post something and get opinions. I found a guy
near me on craigslist who is selling a 60 gallon marineland
aquarium with stand and basically everything you need to get it
going. Like it comes with 2 aqua clear 70's a 48" fluval aqua
sky led light, heater, air pump, decorations, substrate, and
everything else he had to run his tank. He said he ran it for
about two months and decided it was too much for him. He is
asking $475 for everything. I looked at the pricing if I were to
buy everything new and it seems like a deal but I am wondering
what all of you think. Is that a good deal?
And are Marineland aquariums good quality?
Thank you for any advice you can give.
Nate

Marineland or Perfecto aquariums are well made tanks.
Considering the tank is only a couple months old, and with the
equipment and decorations included.. $475 sounds like a good
price.
I'd offer $400, and see if he bites.
Good luck!

Thank you for the response Paul!
I did offer $400 and he said he would get rid of all of it for
that.
Thank you!

That's great!
Did you buy it after all?
Please share your plans for the tank with us, it's always fun
watching a tank come to life.

I did end up getting it. Everything looks good. One of the hoods
was cracked so i need to buy some replacements for that. I have
the tank in my garage right now to do a leak test over the next
couple of days. Everything on it looks good I just want to be
sure before filling it up in the house. I would like this to be
my new tank for the two angels I have already in my 45 gallon
tank. Any tips or advice for how to make this tank more specific
for angels if anything would be awesome. Thank you again Paul!
