Yea right., Ebay, where a lot of the times you buy someone elses
headache, or it arrives cracked or busted or missrepresented and it
takes a lot of screwing around to get corrected and get compensated
for it if at all. What one considers in good or perfect shape is
trash to another.CAVEAT EMPTOR..........Tanks are not all that
expensive overall, but add shipping to that price on an Ebay tank and
it soon passes out a new tank. Thnags are not really a bargain on ebay
anymore, and lots of the crap is put out by JEBO which has to make
thew worst crap there is..but fake the names so it looks like brand
name stuff which it is not. Buy the tank local and buy a decent one it
will be with you a long long time and you have a company to fall back
on if it screws up. Oceanic and AGA both have 5 year
warrantys.........whats an ebay tank have? "0" As for filters and
pumps etc , thats pretty cheap also abnd again best bought local or
from an online vendor such as BigAL's or Drs Foster and
Smith.........better prices than what most stuff sells for on ebay and
its new, has a warranty and its returnable without a problem
too...........Its the live rock and corals that cost the most in money
as will the lights, Once again buy from an online vendor.hello lights,
The two docs place AH Supply, Big ALs Marine Depot etc etc..........
