Newbie equipment help

[ejim]

Hi everyone, first post here.

I have zero experience with reef tanks but been reading a ton for the past few months. I bought a new 60g cube tank, plumbing, and sump. I'm in the process to acquire all the other equipment needed to get started. Have been looking on craigslist and see people selling complete setups and stumbled on this. It just says it's an 90G cube and it shows a picture. I asked over text a few questions and she basically says she doesn't know anything about it, it's a running tank and everything is included. Tank, stand, filter, thermometer, skimmer, live rocks, fish, led lights, corals.

I asked if it's drilled with a sump, she doesn't know. I'm going back and forth with her but she's pretty slow in answering questions. $500 for everything. I really just want to strip it for the rocks, fish, equipment. and resale the tank and sump.

Are you guys able to tell by this terrible picture if the lights are any good? Does it look like a decent setup that it's probably got decent equipment below it? Is it worth driving 2 hours there to take a look and possibly spending all day pumping the water out and moving the setup home?

I'm probably asking a bit much but any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Best bet is to go see it in person. If you have a friend or know someone that is in the hobby or even a local store that maybe willing to go with you, offer them a Launch for their time, not Mic D's.

Thanks for the reply, yeah just trying to gauge if it's even worth asking someone to go look at it with me. I was planning on taking it real slow and buy equipment a little at a time and then looking into stocking it. The prospect of possibly saving a lot of $ on equipment to go me. She texted me more pics, but I don't know squat about corals/fish yet. Anything pro in the pics? Anything nasty? Also found out it's in a basement. I'm guessing relocating a tank is a major pain in the behind?
Not sure if it's worth the trouble even if I "save" $1K.

Anyone bought a used setup and regretted it and wish you would have started fresh?
