What stops me is lack I space and the wife I been trying to convince her to let me set up a poco tank again for my daughter she keeps vetoing it  :(

What I do is set money aside in what I call an "aquarium fund", that way small amounts are not noticed, and eventually you'll have enough to just buy the setup you want, without revealing the existence of the "aquarium fund", and after the purchase, of course.

Thanks for the replies, my good deal didn't work out. Pretty disappointed the guy wants 575 for tank stand and light fixture with 2 bulbs, was hoping to get for 3 or 4 hundred. The tank is brand new never been used. Guess I must keep searching! May just buy a tank and build my own stand to match, I want it to match the furniture in the room, and I liked the modern look of the Osaka.
Thanks again!
If you are ready to buy a Osaka 84 gallon with stand & lights brand new for a steal contact me  ;)
