Is this tank a good buy?

[Krixic]

Hello! I'm trying to get into reefing and also not burn a hole in my wallet so I've venture off to used tanks. I found one that was never used, just had some water put in it and is being sold for 500. Its the Recife Eco 24Gal. I felt like 500 seemed a bit much as I've seen other people get simular deals but for Redsea tanks (which are to my understanding the creme de le creme of reefing). Here's a link of it:
Would this be a decent deal or should I be patient and wait for something else to come up?

I plan on doing coral (sps or lps) although I'm still doing quite a bit of research on corals as it seems there's WAY more stuff that goes into these little buggers as apposed to freshwater planted tanks. And I doubt the light it has is going to be enough so I plan on upgrading it. Thanks!

Not familiar with that tank.. will say 500 for a used 24Gal.. seems high.

Oh yeah.. Welcome to R2R..

I agree what he said seems pretty steep for a tank that size. You can look around on sites and find a used maybe AIO tank for a decent price.

I just saw a Recife aquatop tank 24G cube new with a stand for 399$ at my LFS literally an hour ago (that’s 399$ for the tank and stand combo)

This guy straight up trying to scam me. Unless he bought it for 850 (he posted the website its from which was 850) in which I genuinely feel bad for the dude lol
