Not bad depending on the condition! There are some good deals on CL right now. Not sure where you are in FL, but there's a 180 for sale in Zephyrhills for $450. Picture looks good.

Got Big Fish? Need Big Tank?? 180 gallon for sale!

It's okay, but not a barn-burner... This tank is apparently not reef ready? If you're going to buy used, wait until you find exactly what you want -

I just sold a reef ready 120G with wood stand and Oceanic sump for $400. Due to the economy, a lot of folks are bailing our of the hobby - be patient - you'll find an even better deal...
