75 gal

I bought a 75 gallon acrylic tank that included a sump/refugium,filter socks tubing and pipes, center overflow and metal stand with some extras for 150 was that a good deal? Or a bust

It'll depend on tank condition but overall looks to be a good deal.

Sounds like s steal. I would have been all over that deal!! As mentioned above, the condition of everything is a factor as well. Acrylic tanks get scratched up very easily. Good luck!!

As long as it has been stored inside you should have no issues. Sounds like a real good buy.

It would be good to fill outside to check for any bowing.

The bulkhead had a small leak but now it's sealed

Did the lights come with it? If they did you made your money there. A Chinese black box is $125 alone

Looks like you scored a nice deal.
For aqua scape it’s all a matter of personal likes. I would just take flow and ease of cleaning inside tank into consideration don’t get to close to acrylic anywhere.
Best of luck as the adventure gets going gonna be sweet I’m sure

$150 is a good price, I just paid $350 for a 150G cube
