That is what we paid for our 120g tank and stand 2 years ago. It's the best bigger size.
GET IT!!! You'll never regret it.

Ok..guys..I made them a offer......Then I asked for tank size in inches...Used the calculater..and it's only a 70 gallon....I'm so SAD..lol...I was going to go get it today.....I emailed her and told her it was only a 70 and linked her to the volume calculater..She said I was right and was sorry..but wanted to know if I still wanted it..Hmmmm...don't think so..BUT...lol...I got another deall.lol...A Oceanic 80 gallon with EVERYTHING..Gravel, decor, pumps, heaters, filters..and a nice stand for 180.00..I'm REAL upset about the other one..I feel like it was a bait and switch..lol..But what do you think about this one..I called him and he sent me a pic on my phone..looks good and of course I'd check it out..But I need your guys advice..

I emailed her and told her it was only a 70 and linked her to the volume calculater..She said I was right and was sorry..but wanted to know if I still wanted it..Hmmmm...don't think so.. did she go down on the price,seeing as how she was wrong on the size? It's still a nice looking display,if she would accept 150,I would still go for it.

...A Oceanic 80 gallon with EVERYTHING..Gravel, decor, pumps, heaters, filters..and a nice stand for 180.00.

That too is a good deal............

Hmmm..never thought about it...that would only be 330.00 and that's what I was going to spend on the other one...hmmm...ya got me thinking Dozey..lol..

<------------Nope not bluffing,

If she comes down on the price for the 70 for 150...........You could get BOTH...........80 for 180 = $20 less than the 1st post,get both and save money.........$330 for both $20 less than you were going to spend on 1, and it's a total of 150 gallons......................... MUAHAHAHAHAHA you knew that was coming,come on.

Well it seemed like the obvious choice. I’m still a newbie but I’m learning quick.

well, an 80 gallon still has plenty of cichlid options, maybe you could even do a SW tank! do ya think your ready for it CHoffman?

LOL...No..I'm not ready for it..lol...Actually I would love a saltwater tank..they are beautiful and breath taking...but...that would be a whole other ball game.

yup it would, you could always stick with cichlids, they're cool too, maybe you could get an oscar or two

I'm not the biggest fan of "Big" fish..I don't know why..lol..I think it's because I'm a lake goer..We have jetski's and we ski and tube and I just hated being in the water waiting on the boat to turn around to come pick me back up..I just knew a 800lb catfish was going to come off the bottom and gulp me up..lol..Or some pirahanna let go in the lake was going to eat my leg or something..lol..Big fish and me don't mix..I really won't even get a common pleco..I'll get a 6" one..lol...OR lots of ottos..lol..

LOL..That's an idea.....I do like cichlids..just the smaller kind..I have lots of research ahead of me.

Since you like the lake,you could put perch in it.They are a type of cichlid.

Perch..lol..I could do that...lol...I actually feel bad for perch..They are hungry little dudes are are always the first on a fishermans line...Well my line anyway..lol..I think they are cute.But I have my eye on something else..
