I wanted to add that I am 52 years old. I have bought a lot of used junk in my life. I don't purchase used stuff anymore. Your mileage may vary...
Is this really for your daughters room ?? Hmmmm !!Dream tank? Well, no...my 'dream' tank (for my daughter's room of course) would be something like pictured below, BUT we're talking double the price for just the tank and stand with no equipment I can't see anyone selling off an entire system for a grand with a 90+ tank and stand like this with equipment. I already know how much my bank account isn't even touching the surface with 1k for a tank and stand.
Lol !!
Apply a decade long time machine to that calculation.
Won't that require a ton of water changes? I remember back in the day, '05, when a store helped me set up my first tank (65 gallons). I had a similar cabinet to the one I posted and under the tank I had a uv sterilizer, protein skimmer, chiller, a pad filter with bio balls under it, and the return, plus the halogen lights. A shrimp was used to cycle the tank, live rock added after, and that tank had me with 30 min a day checking parameters and 10% water changes weekly for everything to stay healthy. It was tedious. I don't know if it was just my ocd and needing everything at perfect levels all the time or if my setup just wasn't biodiverse enough to stand on it's own for a bit. I also had a tang in the 65, plus 6 other fish, that back then though, I was told it was perfectly fine.
I do about 10-15% every week or 2 but not because I'm lowering nutrients...I dose p04 and n03.Won't that require a ton of water changes?

It is.....but heck, I'm picky as heck and I gotta pay for the stuff AND take care of it. She just gets to be entertained by it.Is this really for your daughters room ?? Hmmmm !!
Wow…things are so inflated right now.so the seller is being quite fair IME. This is not dry equipment from someone’s basement, it’s wet and running, I doubt it would be leaking on his/her floor, you’d see that.
