Does that mean because it's $600 now that suddenly it's better? (I'll shut up now, lol)

Hmm, I've bought some nice systems that were dirt cheap and they were great deals. Full 120 reef, oak cabinet/canopy (8ft tall), MH halide lights, 200 pounds of rock, custom sump, skimmer, all livestock, etc, for $175. Thinkin' that's a pretty good deal....

No way, I turned around and parted the system out for about 2g. I'm not dumb. I did inform the seller that they should do the same, and I would help them, but they wanted it gone that day. So....

Ok, negative Nancy!! Just because it's cheap (or free) doesn't mean it sucks. Maybe it doesn't in this case (I didn't see the ad before it was removed), but yeesh!!
