Deep Sea Aquatics Tank...is this a good deal?

[TONY_C]

So I was at the LFS today, browsing around, still trying to get prices for my first reef tank. They had Deep Sea Aquatics tanks, I asked about the 75 gallon size, they gave me a price of $265. That sounds like a good price, is this a good price and how is the quality of this aquarium?
Thanks,
Tony

Is it reef ready?

Is it reef ready?

Yes, built in weir in center rear with two holes drilled and internal plumbing included. It's rimless too.

A new, non reef ready, rimmed, 75g tank around here in CT cheapest I've found is like 135. I'd pay the extra for reef ready rimless with plumbing. Sounds ok to me

I think Deep Sea Aquatics has gone out of business so you might want to talk to the LFS about if they will honor the warranty just to be safe.

My Mistake, it was Deep BLUE, not deep sea as I stated originally.

It was from Aquarium Village in Westbury. Price was without stand. Metal stand was $75, I didn't ask about a wood stand. Where did you see the $575 Price?

Blue aquatics in bayshore it was last year when I got my 57 gallon rimless. I should of gotten the 75 at the time I didn't want to go that big but now I wish I had
