Need some quick advice

Georgia Peach · 02-10-2006, 05:52 PM

I have a chance to purchase a 20 gal tank with all major accesories and probably a bunch of deco stuff I dont need for $85 - glass tank with wood grain trim.. Its been 25 years since I purchased a tank and I have NO clue if this is a good deal or if I should look elsewhere. I need a tank for two african clawed frogs.

If it was all new stuff it would be a decent deal IMO. Dont factor the stuff you wouldn't use into the price. What kinda hood/lights/filter? If its used how clean is it? If it is used go lower $.

thanks. I have since decided that its a bit too much.. Not to mention I would have to drive 60+ miles to get it and I can drive 20 miles and buy a new one for that I believe.. LOL
