Sorry about what happened. Many of us here, including myself, have purchased used tanks and the overwhelming majority of time it is positive. You just got unlucky and it was just one of those freak things.

Total loss Jaws... My tank was in the basement... Which is a good thing ... Minimal water damage ... Just lots of wet vac usage...The tank looks like the seal broke free front glass.. Odd actually...:confused:
 
Wonder if it was one of those "Glass Cages" tanks sold at chain stores, that are meant to house reptiles, amphibians, or small mammals, but not made to house fish?
These tank should only partially filled with water (maybe 1/4 water)
 
sorry to hear about that... even mine first tank which was also a used tank broke and flooded the room
and now 1 year later i have 4 tanks... slow progress:) hope it will be more than 4 for you
 
I know tou baught is used but did the seller happen to mention who the manufacturer is

Sorry to hear this. All of my tanks were purchased used, 95% from Craigslist. I always fill them and leave them sitting outside for at least 24 hours, but never longer....I hope I don't have an experience like yours in the future.

As was already stated, always be sure any aquarium you purchase is rated to hold water, and the center brace(s) is intact, if applicable. Also, if it's a diy aquarium, be sure the material is thick enough.
