Worth the buy?

leroy_jenkinz · Oct 28, 2018

I apologize for the lack of information and have to rely on pictures on only but i think based on the tank/stand with built in auto filler on side and lights alone its worth the money. Its a 90 gal, stand, sump, skimmer that looks like a octo? ( could be wrong) , kessil AP700 and few other items. asking price is 1000$

That looks like an eshoppes sump and skimmer. Drilled tank, seems like a good deal if everything works. By the pics it looks to be in good shape. I like to inspect before buying.

Thanks for the identification on those, which again in my mind makes it a better deal. They said its all in working condition, i am new to the hobby so im sure my inspection wouldnt be much of use other than looking for something blatanlty obvious

Do you know what the long tube is in the far right of the sump?

Looks clean, I would have the seller place 1/3 of water in the tank to ensure of no leaks on the bottom of the tank. Test all electric too. Looks good though, it's a good deal to me.

That long tube is the return line from the pump

Looks like a float valve for an auto top off?

Looks to be a pretty nice deal. The light alone is a major chunk of the 1K. Used i think people get $6-700 though I could be wrong. I agree ask for a quick fresh water leak test before you take it. Good protection for you and the selller.
