    Thats a great price I wish I would have found this in Nov. I saw his add I believe he is even selling the stands for the tanks. Would be a great deal for someone looking to start a fishroom.

    I think you teased us all with the title of your thread....
    I was expecting to see one, not hear about the one you don't have..

    Maybe I will start a thread called "600gallon Discus Tank." LOL. But I know how you feel everytime I waste my time looking and tanks I can't afford (or Josie's fishroom).

    I just love the Craigslist postings in my area where people want $500 for a 55 gallon. Throw in another $200 and they'll give you a nice stand made with 2x4's and held together with nails.

    ROFLMBO! I get that in my area too!

    Ones like this: "75 Gal. Cichlid Show Tank! - $550" or this: "90 Gallon Aquarium - $700 Description - Includes sand and power filters, 1 doesn't work, other is good. Stand and hood available for $300, or $900 for all."

    And then you look at the tank in the picture and fall off your chair laughing in disbelief.

    I know,this guy was the oppisite,I thought.Priced fairly,and if I wanted more,willing to cut deals.He was a hobbyist,he knows what to sell them for,its the people who pay top-dollar and knock a 1/4 off what they paid for it.
