New Marineland 93gl. Cube

[adonegan15]

I am about to purchase a used 93 gallon Marineland cube tank that was used for saltwater before. It is in very good condition but being new to the hobby I thought I would post the pics and all that it comes with to see if I am getting a good deal before I buy. I am also asking for any advice on setup or other equipment I would need to get started. Here is what it comes with:
30 gl refugium (Eshopps)
250 30" lighting fixture-metal halide+t5+led(Odyssea)
Large skimmer (ASM g-3)
Two heaters
Three 5gl buckets of sand
Various hoses, fittings, gloat valves

$500 for everything. Price good???

I added pics for everyone to look at.

Set up is clean! Did you see it filled with water?

Not yet but I am going to check it out tomorrow and have them fill it.

What do you think about the refugium and skimmer?

First off, welcome to R2R! The skimmer seems great for the tank. The sump isn't bad ether. Personally I usually like a larger refugium compartment, but that is just me. For the price you are paying its a great deal.

DO NOT USE the sand unless you rinse it thoroughly! I would personally advise getting new sand, but if it is a cost issue I totally understand. You do not want any trap detritus or other bad things to get into a tank you are just setting up.

Pitch the sand and get that new. And also check the seams very well. Marineland has been having issues with their tanks leaking. I would also ask to see if filled up and check for leaks before purchasing. If all is well I would go for it. I love the dimensions of this tank

Thanks for the feedback. I am new to the saltwater world and want to cover all my basis and take slow building and establishing my tank. I'm sure I will have more questions later on.
