I don't ever haggled and I have no intention to flake but the reality is I was really looking for a scratch free tank. I realize the value on the LED light and it's a great piece of equipment, but I was not the only one to blame for this sale to fall through. I will say the front and the right side of the tank is scratch free and would be a great tank for anyone who would not need all 3 sides viewable.
Just a point of information this is a used tank and I challenge anyone to find a used one scratch free, I now have the tank filled with water and vinegar cleaning it and the scratch is so slight it's not visible at all when filled with water, so when asked by piusma if the tank was scratch free, I thought it was because I couldn't see any on the tank when I looked at it.
If a person wants a scratch free tank for sure then you better figure on buying a new one I suppose and paying a lot more money.

And I have to agree that I am being picky. I would encourage anyone not as picky to go see this tank. It is a very good setup indeed.

I absolutely agree with what others are saying about Laurie's tank. My son and I saw Laurie's set up this past Friday. It is beautiful. Someone is going to get a very nice system.

Thanks Amir I always tried to look after the tank.
