Please help before I pay $850

This seems fair but IDK. I posted pics to help show you. It appears to be a 60-70 tank he is selling me with two kessil a360we and fully scaped matured live rock to fill the tank with some preexisting corals. Is this good? He said it should be an instatank with skimmer or chaeto. I have both. Should I drive an hour because the tank fits perfectly on my stand? The tank and lights on the lame stand is the one I'm taking with rock from the other

seems to be an ok deal, but make sure you like the corals as there are a lot of easy fast growing/invasive corals (gsp/green palys).

you can get some great deals on used, honestly unless the dimensions are exactly what you want, I think you could find something better if you are looking for just a tank

The kessils are worth at most $200/ea unless he can show they are low hour.

Even established rock around here runs $2/lb for good... Half that for anything requiring cleaning.

The value of the aquarium depends on a lot of variables. I doubt I would pay the inferred $350, but maybe!

Perhaps the corals are interesting. Overall it doesn't sound like the deal of the year, but if it meets your needs and budget then have at!

Well, dry rock typically runs between $3-$5 per lb, so you have a rough idea of what the rock is worth. I can't see enough details with respect to the tank.

@afrokobe has a good take.

To me it’s Meh at best. Most of the corals appear I’m seeing are common cheaper corals.

I’d be more willing around $400 not $850.

Just the tank and lights? $850 seems high unless there is some expensive livestock.

Fair price- Not a bargain. Assure tank is filled and not leaking or showing any salt creep.
$600-650 would be a better deal. Flash the cash in sellers presence and tell them this is the best you can do no questions asked. If the Kessils are the A360 units- they are worth $500 alone

Pass without hesitation. I see two different tanks, I think you are purchasing 1, not2? Any sign of deception shuts me off a "deal" instantly.

Wait for something real. JMO
