Hi! Welcome to the hobby! I'm new myself. I've only got a small 30 gallon tank. Wish I had a larger setup but larger tanks are a little more complicated for me right now. Cost more, too. $150 sounds like a good deal to me. a 55 gallon tank around here runs about that price. Does it come with a stand, too? Lighting? That would be awesome.
as for the aquarium it's just the glass and lid
Hey and welcome to the hobby! I think that's a great deal for a 120. You will also be able to keep tangs happy with a tank that size if your so inclined. Tank size IMO is really about how much maintenance you want to do. A 10% weekly water change on a tank that size is 12g. Figure 15 if you had a 30g sump. So really that means just a couple more trips with a 5g bucket then a 30g with a 20g sump. That's just the way I break it down anyhow. Good luck and happy reefing!
$150 isnt that great of a deal.... I just sold one for $75.... and pd $200 for a rr180g with built stand.....
with any tank over 75g, you have to worry about age... larger tanks have allot of pressure on the seams when full of moving water, so I always recommend re-sealing them. also I assume this is a 4' tank? so you should be fine but when moving 5'-6'+ tanks there is allot of twisting that can cause old seams to split or weaken.....
