Price on a Red Sea Reefer 350 Deluxe

If it’s pay before you see, it’s a scam. That’s how people get money stolen from them.

If he lives only 15mjns, it wouldn’t be a scam some people just weird. That’s it

I’m saying why can’t he see the tank before he buys it? Would you pay for a used car you couldn’t check out first? That’s a lot of cash to drop on something you haven’t looked over. It’s sketchy.

Update - seller didn’t response to my offer ($1,600). I was think at lease yes/no/counteroffer.

I would probably just forget about it then, guy sounds like an butt and it just seems sketchy.

Dang talk about low ball. Dont understand how you price the rocks if they have no3 or po4. They are valued less . Man get outta here with that non sense. Rocks at lfs go for 6.99 pp min and who knows what nutrients are in them. The lights little value? Yeah they aren't the best but can light up the tank and keep coral going. How do you value the coral at 200? Fighting ich or some parasite? Yeah maybe but if the fish are healthy and eating that's more then you can say for getting a fish from an LFS. I agree 2k sounds like alot and is but 1k for a full running system that's can potentially be plug and play is crazy. But to each their own

Hello, so this was a way for me to explain how much I would pay for as well as the value of the stuff included in my OPINION. Rock can house and release No3 and PO4, creating a headache. Buying a used tank you are not sure how well the system was taken care of. If I am buying a true plug and play system I prefer not to have to dose something to keep nutrients at an acceptable range. I understand when you buy LR from a LFS you don't know what your getting but usually when introducing this much rock I personally wouldn't have livestock going in the same month. I didn't say the corals would not grow under these lights, I said that the lights would need upgrading if he chose to do SPS. I probably should have clarified and said harder SPS like horridas, some millis and other acros. Without seeing the health of the fish/system in person (apparently he was rejected the opportunity to do so) I change the value of everything to what I feel is acceptable. He also doesn't know the shape of the tank itself(seams, scratches, etc). Again this is the way I would have made my offer. Happy reefing

well keep us posted I am curious how this plays out for you and some what invested in you NOT getting taken for a ride.
might be the best if he will not let you look at it and go over with a fine comb chances are there are some issues. maybe big maybe small who knows.

in the mean time here are some tanks for you to check out. some of the lesser known brads but worth a look IMHO.

SCA I had there 90 gal 36x24x24 12mm glass great tank. but IMHO get it drilled for ext overflows:

Fiji cube. I have there peninsula nano and would conciser a 81-140+gallon from them. FYI they are having a nice sale this week too!
check it out: https://www.fijicube.com/collections/deal-of-the-week

pro clear pretty new to the seen I speculate they are all made in the same factory in china as WB and RS. but I dont know for sure just a guess. there are a few people on here that have build threads going. great price point.

you can get a 110 rimless with stand shipped to your door for $1300

I wouldn’t pay more than $1600 unless if you a click away to buy an exact same tank brand new in retail price. See, to me I won’t buy anything unless it’s a super deal. Of course, unless I really want it.

I’m in the processing of a new reefer 350 build. My cost so far:

Tank and white stand 1750
(2) XR-15 lights 750
Light mounts 150
(2) used MP40WQD 500
Vortech S2 pump 250
Skimmer 200
Heater/controller 90
Sand 100
Rock 100
Eventual live rock 400

So that’s about 4400. Seems like the asking price was a decent deal from my perspective. I was on the lookout for a used system within range and one never came up at something below 2k with lights.

I am pretty sure it costs a lot when you’re start building them especially your equipments are mostly new. Sure $1900 is fair, but personally I wouldn’t and I bet there are lots of people are on my side.

Don’t have the money to put together a new set right now. A new set would easily cost me above $4k.

 

[Marlon C]

Yeah well keep looking something nice will come up

 

[Fishingandreefing]

not sure just saw them on there website. i am sure liveaquaria knows.

I didn’t, that’s why I asked. If I missed it I will check again

I recently let go of couple good deal because they weren’t what I really wanted. Usually summer times there’s more actions of people getting out.

This tank could also have been bought used and he’s reselling... sure there are better options than Red Sea. I can come up with quite a few better options. But let’s keep in mind he is getting a COMPLETE setup for $1,600. A new tank that size is typically around $1,500-$4,000 for just the tank and some have the stand. He would still have to buy LR, sand, livestock, sump, return, skimmer, powerheads, and lights. $1,600 is a good deal. But I still don’t like the buy before you see concept...

Buyer can always agreed the deal, but upon seeing the tank if there scratches that was never told, I think it’s fair for the buyer to refuse purchase or renegotiate the price.
