Is this a good set up?

[mach2mack]

Hello guys.

Well I've kept all types of freshwater fish and tanks for about 10 years now. I've always wanted a saltwater tank and I am ready to take the plunge. I found a set up I am interested in but since I have never had a saltwater tank id like some opinions on this set up. I asked the guy selling it for details and this is the reply I got.

180 gallon tank
Sump 55 plus the smaller chamber system,
Wave makes 2 w60 jebao 1 w40
Reef keeper 2 controler
2 3 puck ocean by design wireless led
1 toatronic al01 240 watt led
Protien skimmer,
Tons of live rock
Fish tomini, hippo,convict goby, scole tang, lunar wrasse, cardinal, puffer, brittle star, sea apple, two tuxedo urchens maroon clown, spiny urchin
Coral blasto, favia, trumpets, plate, brain, birds nest, candy cane trumpets, zoas, mushooms, kenya trees, acans, cup coral,
300 watt heater, supply pump,
Check valves,


He is asking $1500. I planned to offer 1k-1200 if every thing looks good.

I know I'm jumping in kind of big here but I'm not a noob to fish just to saltwater I believe I can handle it I've been reading everything I can about SW. So what do you guys think ?

Here's a link to the ad with pictures.

The price seems good for that setup. My only concern would be the logistics of getting the fish out and keeping them healthy while you broke down and set back up the system.

Loose the sand. Much easier to use fresh washed sand.

Seems like a good price for the setup. Cannot determine if equipment is in good shape. Moving it will be difficult but doable. All must be removed from tank and into rubber totes. If ypu try to move tank with stuff in it, may crack the tank.
