200 bucks a good deal for a 96 long, 18x wid framless lagoon style tank with stand that leaks. it was custom made 5 years ago, The owner said he had it set up as saltwater for 3 and the owner before that had it 2 years but got it custom made. Only worries I have is no professional made bracing, just 3 silicone thin glasses pieces the owner now did. what should I look for, glass thickness etc.. is it worth it.

That is a heck of a price increase!
I've never heard of a lagoon style tank, what does that mean? What is the thickness of the tank glass?
Correct me if im wrong but is that a 135gal? I recently seen one on craigs that was in good condition for 125 i believe. But that tank has euro bracing and its just as strong as a regular brace. Many believe its stronger as regular braces are cheap flimsy plastic braces. But with a 5/8th thickness and being only 18 inches tall then you dont really even need braces honestly. Recommended glass thickness is 7mm which 5/8 converts into around 15mm . I only say this because its 18 inches tall, you generally need thicker glass when going for depth or "height". So glass thickness is on spot but leaking is no good.. if you think you can reseal it go for it, its not a bad price.
what part of US you from, mighta seen same tank, it my be different
on thickness, I was looking at stand that it came with while he measured it but I am pretty sure it was 5/8
