Hi,
I'm not sure I've put this in the right section, if its not can it be moved ?
Anyway I am looking to buy a five foot tank and i found one for just AU$300, it comes with a stand, filter, heater, light and lots of fake plants and ornaments.


If i where to build a hood and matching stand for it, like a good quality one how much could i sell it for ?

Nothing depreciates faster than a used aquarium. I wouldn't buy it thinking to make a profit selling it. $300 is not cheap for a used set up.
 
I think it depends a lot on location. Here in Arizona that's not a good price but not a bad one either. If it was here you wouldn't be getting a deal. But I don't know what they go for where you are.
 
Personally I would get it but make sure it holds water with no cracks or leaks. Usually a couple of Aussie forums have tanks going cheaper (all pick up of course and mostly in the city), while tanks etc sold via handy traders or news papers are more on the expensive side. If any parts of the acessories don't work I would haggle them down in price.

Also what are you hoping to have in the tank? If you ever get shrimp ask the seller if any and what medications have been used in the tank, it will save a load of heartache later down the track.
