Default Is this a good price for tank and stand???

Hi everyone I was at the lfs store with a buddy yesterday an they had a 65gal reef ready with stand for 299.00 I think it was a 65gal breader I think I want to buy this but needed to see what you all think about the price.. I have to say I should have bought it but didnt have all the money on me, let me know what you think b/c maybe i can go and put down 200 so they dont get rid of it.

Sounds like a deal to me. Is the stand wood, or ine of those cheap metal ones?

Price sounds good and bulkhead holes???
(wish that the tank and the stand were the most expensive investments in the hobby"addiction" , but there not . This salt game is quite expensive and i just barley have a toe in the water yet. First fish went in yesterday and i cant stop looking at my $700 free tank and toys)

Debra the stand is wood an everything looks really nice from what they had out on the floor. Ryan I have a 29gal bio cube with over 40 pounds of live rock in it already with some corals and fish also 30 or 40 pounds of live sand an a clean up crew. I have been wanting to move into a bigger tank an fell in love with this tank for some reason. I do have a friend that has a 30gal sump,skimmer,powerheads,p umps and everything to really get me going he said i could have everything from him for 80 bucks I just think i'm ready to step into something bigger and thought this might be a good deal... So what you think? Is the Price Right Guys and Gals??
