    Default do I buy that 240?

    A week ago one of the customers that shops often at the petstore I work at made a proposition. He is looking to downsize from a 240 gallon to an 80-90 gallon.....Well I just happen to have that 80-90 gallon he is looking for. His tank is acrylic and comes with tank, stand, lights, filter, heater. My tank is 1/2" glass and comes with tank,light,heater,filter(s). He wants to do a trade plus I pay $500, is this a good deal? If I get the 240 what do i do first, how do I start....Id be so lost lol

    Sounds like a good deal, as long as the filters and what not are good enough for a tank that size. If you get it what you do is get it filled with water and cycle then fill with monsters

    Also make sure there are no problems with the tank itself, like that it doesn't leak or anything

    Take the 240 unless you plan to do plecos, then stay far far away. Pleco + acrylic = scratched up tank and poor viewing eventually.

    I would do the trade in a heart beat. If you dont' do it, please let him know I will pay cash for it and he can get himself a 80 - 90 gallon

    Planning on stacking it with your 240 ??

    I have to agree with everyone else who says jump at this one. Unless it's one of those "too good to be true" deals, seems like something you'll kick yourself for later if you don't grab it now Go for it!
