Is this a good deal?

Hello guys,

I’m getting back to the hobby and I found a JBJ 65 AIO with stand for 749 new.

Do you guys think it’s a good tank to restart? I’ve heard their stand is not great and the 65 gallon is more like a 45 gallon display.

Thanks

New in box? Does it come with the stand and any other equipment?

Might want to prep to make your own.

I'd also start thinking about your goals with the tank. If you want more display area, you may want to look into something you can put a sump on etc...
I love my small AIO, not sure about larger ones though.

Honestly was looking for something relatively larger than my old 20g but still being and AIO.

I’m wondering who has the exact numbers on the display size of this tank.

Thanks

I think that link has some dims listed! You're spot on with your 45 gallons.
