Do I Buy It?

[dbanner]

Ok so I have been offered to buy a used Juwel Vision 180 (black wood) off a friend for £30... Do I buy it? It's been tested outside in the garden by him (I witnessed this) and it holds water. It comes with the vision stand, a stick on background, the lid, lights and juwel internal filter (won't use that). I already have spare filters and heaters do I can use them.

Basically he bought it used and took it home but his mam won't allow him to have a 2nd tank in the house so he needs it gone lol I have no idea what I'd use it for but for £30? Do I pass up this opportunity? Hmm... What would you guys do? Iv had one before, I'm just thinking to get it because the price is so low and he will deliver it to me.

Sounds like a good price to me. That's about $45 dollars US so here in AZ that would be considered a good price.

for 30 bucks.. i would get it.. and it holds water sooo yay! just if you get it; before filling it up do a extreme clean on it.. check the seals and everything. can never have to many fish tanks.. and if you don't have any use for it you can always sell it or something.

In 2 minds..... Buy it and have it in my bedroom where my other Vision 180 was or leave it.... I really don't know

Other option I have is to leave the tank and buy 3 degus have had my big cage back from my girlfriends house. Don't want to have another tank going AND degus to look after as well as my other tank, 2 chinchillas, 2 dogs and a cat lol so it's either degus or tank?? Iv got 2 degus which my girlfriend insists keeping up her house lol

It's worth buying just to sell on for profit!

That's the bit I didn't mention, I does need a good clean but I don't mind that. Apart from that iv had a look over it (with and without water) and everything is good I'm thinking of getting some rainbow snakeheads for it if I do buy it. I miss my channa's

That's a good point. He did say before he gave me a price he had a look on eBay and they were going for £100 (which is what i sold mine for) with the same sort of equipment as his has. He was asking £50 for it 1st of all but his mam is pushing for him to sell it so he offered it to me for £30

In my head it makes sense to buy it... Il sleep on it and decide what I want to do in the morning

Ok so a couple of problems my friend failed to point out lol one of the bulbs are not working so that needs to be replaced... Would it be cheaper to get a new T5 bulb or led strip lighting?

And part of the lid is missing, but I can easily make a replacement. No issues with that.

I don't buy used aquariums or aquarium equipment.

I bought my 3 foot tank off ebay for £20... totally awesome buy! Did require a bit of DIY to make sure it was up to snuff including a thorough cleaning. I also chose to not risk filling it up and having it leak so I also recovered the sealant to make sure it would be water tight for sure.

I'd definitely buy the tank! If you don't want it, toss it on ebay and make a bit of money!
