I HIGHLY doubt it cost that little for trimless/braceless, polished edges and all starphire! In my opinion I think this tank is worth what's being asked and I say this knowing full well what it cost and it's only 3 years old. There may be others cheaper but a custom built starphire tank, custom built sump and custom built metal stand are not cheap. Also the water blaster pump which is about $190 retail isn't more than 6 months old.

That must have been a basic tank, because when I was getting the tank I have now, I went around asking for quotes and the one I got from AI with regular glass, no polished edges, thinner glass, etc was $295. So add on 1/2 inch starphire glass, a steel stand and a sump and it ended up being much more. The display tank itself was just under $500 when I got it quoted from most places.
I can't go any lower on the price, if it doesn't sell, then I will put it away for now and maybe someday I will use it.

Agreed Noirs!!! Leave the kid alone! If you are not interested in the tank then please keep your mouth shut! I got his RO unit and Skimer yesterday. the last thing he wants is rip-off anybody he gave me more than he had posted on the RO . He is a young kid that maybe saved money for long time for his tank and now is trying to get the most he can recup.

Just sick of the sad bullies that make using this forum less that desirable.

Lol you guys are hilarious. A tank is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. He can ask whatever he wants.

It's the "ASAP" part that throws everyone off

Thank you
