So I've got an opportunity to pick up a new still in the box reef ready All-Glass 180(6x2x2) with the glass tops for $600 plus my costs to pick it up which will probably run ~ $100. I've got an empty 75 that I could use for the sump. I've got a wall that I've set aside for my pie in the sky in-wall tank, which I'd been planning on using a 210 for which is 6x2x2.5. So it's 6 " shorter, but still fills the role nicely.

I'm just a bit curious what you guys think of the value of the deal vs the likelihood of me running into something like it again.

It's a fish tank, so it certainly isn't anything more than a want. It is a decent bit of coin, but it isn't going to make or break me. It will be a while before I get around to setting it up even if I did buy it today. If it's something that I'd likely be able to find at a similar price point at a later time, then I should probably just let it go. However, if it's a real steal I'd rather not let it go by and spend twice as much on the same thing in 6 months or a year. So what are your thoughts?

You could get that setup new from Glasscages for $750, at about the same delivery cost (if you pick up in Indianapolis). So, it's a deal, but not an outrageous one.

Not the best deal in the world on a used tank, especially given the economy at the moment.

Hold out for the 210 :cool2:
