(((("ALL GLASS 80 GALLON SALT WATER TANK, INCLUDES CUSTOM WOOD STAND AND LIGHT, HAMILTON BALLAST, 4 TUBE 4' LIGHT FIXTURE, AMERICLE WET/DRY SUMP, PRO-4500S PROTIEN SKIMMER, LITTLE GIANT PUMP, UV LIGHT, AQUAMIZER, FULL PAIL (200 GALLONS) OF INSTANT OCEAN SALT, BOXES OF WATER TEST KITS, CHEMICALS, AIR PUMPS, HEATER, AND MORE. EVERYTHING IS CLEAN, USED, READY TO USE. MOVING SOUTHBOUND SOON" - $395))))

I saw this ad on Craigslist and it kinda looks like a pretty good deal for someone starting from scratch. 80 gallons sounds about the size I wanted and I think should allow for alot of different options in terms of stocking. I wanted to check with you guys to make sure that this isn't a waste of money and that im gonna have to buy ALOT of new things. For instance, do you guys think this protein skimmer adequate? I wouldnt mind having to spend a bit more money on equipment, but I'd hope that most of these things could suffice to start. Anyways, feedback is very much appreciated... been spending some time researching this and will reward the site with pics once the operation is under way...

AGA doens't make an 80G do they? Good eal and not to rain on your parade, but it's likely a 75 or 90g.

That was the only thing I couldn't figure out... I don't think they make and 80. A good deal none the less.
