I saw it on Craigslist as well... This is the 4th or 5th "Tanked" tank that has since been sold?

really? I think they are over rated builds, kind of gimmicky and I wonder how long the fish make it with all of those props and that crazy build and fast set-up

I bet the tanks get mad hair algae and become a eye sore. They probably don't do any research before ordering a tank, still a cool tank though

Its pretty funny the person selling it on e-bay bought it off craigslist about 2 months ago for $1500. The original company that had it built listed it for $2000 obo.

This person is trying to make some money

Well that's messed up, and now sell it for $6,000-$9,000. Wow. Whoever that is is certainly a feminine product one might use on a warm summer evening... And the bag it came in. Greedy D-bag.... 700g is pretty sick though, could def do some things with 700g. And you can skate on it to boot.

seems like that tank is built for killing corals or killing yourself skating, I wonder if those props leach into the water over time? I have heard people claim that and who knows what paint or plastic was used on anything from China, probably melamine or whatever that stuff was that snuck into foods as well and is a poison.

700g would be one hell of a reef tank to maintain. FOWLR on the other hand would be awesome, and take any deco out if it causes concern. Buy a couple reef inserts and live rock and fill it with badass fish. Bam!!! Epic tank!


(On a soapbox)
I think a lot of people complain about the "Tanked" program, about them stuffing fish right after set up, stuff not living, etc., but I think the customers need to be held accountable. Most I believe are doing it just as much, if not more, to get on tv and publicize their business, with the animals care having little concern. It is not atm's responsibility to maintain these tanks, feed, clean, h2o change, everything we all on here know that goes into these tanks. We are here because we have a love of the hobby and the creatures of the oceans. I believe ATM has good practices and would want them to build me a tank any day!!! I would even move to Vegas to work there and enjoy my hobby and get paid at the same time, my opinion that's a dream! I think we should all be greatful there is a show on television about our hobby, gives us a chance to see new, creative ideas for tanks, deco, and stocking. Look at the positives instead if always focusing on the negatives.
(Stepping off my soap box)

Happy Reefing :)
