what are you talking about?
I see deals pass by all the time.
I appreciate your input but I think maybe you're just not looking hard enough or in the right places.
I will let you know what I get and for how much when I do, then we'll settle on what I am and am not going to do.

Ok maybe i should clarify my explanation abit more, depending on what your gonna keep in the tank the price will obviously differ. If your going for a sps tank, and 120 gallon or more your lighting alone is gonna cost you at least $700 (conservative est.). Your skimmer $400ish used I would guess if not more, tank/stand/sump $600ish, $200ish for plumping/pumps, and you havent even gotten into LR yet, or livestock. Now i think im being pretty cheap for costs too. Just my opinion thou, Im preparing to get myself a 120ish gallon myself dec/jan so ive been told to plan for $45/gallon. At my calculations thats $5400ish.

hahahaha...
okay, trust me I understand your mentality here.
but again, after I have aquired my set up I will let you know what i got all in all and the price I paid for everything in.
again, I don't think you look in the right places or look hard enough.
maybe you have a lot of cash and as such you don't exlpore all the different avenues for finding good deals, but that is not the case with me.
I am a bargain hunter, you would probably not even believe some of the things I've gotten for exceptional prices just for putting in a little extre time and effort.

I know some people like to pay more for things and that it is demeaning to them to have someone else get the same or comparable items for less money but I am not one of those people.
I'm frugal and I'm not embarassed to haggle or pursue good deals.
I am sorry if this notion is offensive to you in any way but please let me decide what I can and can't find a great deal on and ease up on the negativity.
cheers.

Doesnt offend me at all, hey if you can find a great deal awesome and grats to you, sorry if it sounded like I was being negative as this wasnt my intention. Just wanted to give you a realistic price to expect from my experience is all.

Free bump, hehe.

Lol wow, I guess I should have subscribed to my own thread! Geez I didn't even realize I had any posts until I decided to put in the specs of the tank

For those of you who commented on the great price, thanks for the free bump It's heartbreaking for me to have to do this, but now that the livestock is gone, there's no point in sitting here looking at an empty tank.

To clarify, the tank specs and what is included in purchase price are as follows:
- 94g Cube tank
- Drilled bottom (for 360 degree unobstructed viewing). If memory serves correct, 3/4" return, 1" drain
- 30x30x24"
- Stand is finished, but needs to be painted. I will post pics.
- Starboard bottom with faux sandbed (I didn't like the look after the bottom encrusted with coralline so I maintained a shallow sandbed).
- Sump is 30g
- Grow light for macroalgae.
- Plumbing fixtures are included (return pump is not)
- And finally the Sfiligoi Pendant with ACLS ballast!

$1500 does not include the following and will be sold separately:
Any Livestock or Live Rock
Deltec Skimmer
Tunze Streams
Return Pump
Phosban Reactor
