I couldn't stand it, I had to send an e-mail to see if it's really an 8 gallon tank.  Here is the response...   :-\

My husband says 6, 7, or 8. I think 8 but we are not certain.

When I questioned if it was really $300.00 here was the response...

Yes. As I said in the ad, there is almost 300 just in fish and snails. We paid 600 for the tank and water and rocks and sand at the saltwater warehouse in Dayton.

I will say they are exaggerating(Lieing) before I say they got ripped off... 600 is extreme for a tank like that(I doubt they paid that)... I don't think I can even fit $300 dollars worth of fish,rock and sand in that tank.

they clearly are missing a few screws to begin with.


I say they paid 300 for it, and are trying to get their 300 back by making it sound like it is worth more.

It is Gerber's... I highly doubt they ripped them off.

Ok, I'm dying here... I asked what kind and how many fish just to see if I was missing something.  Here is the response...

There are two clowns like nemo. They were a fancy clowns, I believe. They have a more definitive black stripe after the white stripes. The guys at the saltwater warehouse in Dayton could tell you the difference and the exact name. There is also one blue tang like Dori from finding nemo. There are also snails and crabs.

Honestly, if this kind of thing keeps up they're gonna have to put a UL bug label on finding nemo warning folks to just buy goldfish.

It's sad.

At least the Blue tang does look small.  They start them to market when they are about as big as small clowns.  The only thing i think of is they bought one of the presetup biocubes ($300 or so) that Gerbers sells.  Then they added the blue tang and are exaggerating the price.... Or the husband lied to the wife and took the other $300 in singles down the the establishments on South Dixie Dr.  :)
