Well I finally got lucky today and got a great pickup on craigslist. (as soon as I get it all cleaned and set up I will get pics. Its a 90gallon acrylic tank. TruVue brand. Reef ready with built in overflows on both sides. the whole back of tank is black. Drilled on the bottom. It came with a solid wood stand and 2 piece canopy. Its got a control panel and lots of built in power outlets in the stand. It came with metal halide's and a very large tidepool sump with extra media and ect.. Came with all the plumbing aswell. Total for all this $50  |

Crazy cheap price, great deal.
MAKE SURE ... you examine the seal all around the corners on the inside to ensure it's sealed well. Then SLOWLY fill it up to test if it will hold water... I've seen cheap acrylic tanks buckle from cheap deals like this. Regardless you have a lot that is still worth the $50...
I wish the best for you!

yea I know. Its and expensive brand and so far looks good. as soon as I get the plumbing attached I'm going to fill it and let it sit a few days for good measure. (its in the garage)

when i buy a used outfit after i clean it i set it up outside and fill with water and let it set for 2 days to see if there are any leaks before i set it up in my house, i had a hot water t ank bust while me and my wife was at work when we got home water was running out under the front and back doors and across the drive we had to replace floors in 3 rooms so its better to be safe then sorry . but that is a great deal congrads on it.

yea thats why its in the garage. I had to replace almost all my flooring when a 150 gallon aquarium split in half once. It was brand new so Perfecto paid for the waterdamage and all repairs. They even paid for all filters,tank,fish ect... lost

No salt for me. Tried it once and to much work. (the fixtures and all are all attached to the canopy so not sure how I would just sell them. I may try to sell the canopy top that has them in it as I cant see me using it. The bottom part of the canopy has a ton of moon lights on it so I'll probably keep that. It didnt come with bulkheads so I have to get a couple of them before I can even fill it to test it out.
