The had a nice 120 gallon here with a slight chip on the molding around it, not the glass for 600 with stand. 1200 seams a tad high for 120. The canopy have lights? Well wheather you go salt water reef tank, or all planted, you will need some nice lighting.
Depending on what you do it can cost more than your other items you may be looking for.
 I would say a plant tank would be rewarding.A salt water reef tank is a masterpiece...or it could be a complete bust , if you dont read up on it, buy the proper equipment, and keep it in check till you have a good idea what is going on in the envirnment of the tank.

Starting cost will be greater for A reef tank, than a planted tank. A salt fish only tank wont be too much however.
