someone has this tank up for sale here, it is a 4 ft marine tank.

I wish I had a clue on marines as I would have propably jumped on this and
risked the row with the husband after the tank got here.
But seen I am still fairly new at all this, I am affraid I will have to let this one slip.

wow that is quite a tank, im with you on not knowing a thing about marine tanks though. D:

Yes. There's more to learn. It's best to start slow I think, vs. an established tank...

I send an email, just because I am curious as to why someone would want to part with it, but no reply so far

What a beautiful tank.

If that is a 4ft tank then those are some really small Yellow Tangs. Great looking tank though.

Definitely larger than a 4ft. I'd say at least 6ft. I would get it immediately, if I were you.

Its definately a 6ft tank!
How much is that in dollars? us or canadian.
With it already being what looks to be a well established tank would it not be easier to maintain with some learn as you go experience than to start from scratch?

The learn as you go technique with an established SW tank with sensitive fish and coral, would probably kill most of the fish and coral because they typically can't take the beginner mistakes.
