I have found two/ 285 tanks and the stand and the lights with diy wet/dry filter for 1600$$$$$$$$$$$ everything else in the tank will this be a good deal the price what will it take to get it up and run for a saltwater?
I would venture to say it's a good deal. I picked up my 225 complete for 1,100. It sat in a garage under a tarp for 3 years. I had the entire thing re-sealed and drilled. Been running for over two years now, and it cost me 5,400 to turn it on. It is a reef system with closed loop circulation ( 3 pumps) and 300 lbs of live rock. So go for it.
