i will be buying a new tank sometime. i plan to buy a used one. Around 55 gal. I am kinda woried about getting a leaky one. Any tips on buying a used tank?
used
- Thread starter Demon_fish
- Start date
A lot of times I will ask to have the tank filled up when I get there. There is still a chance it will leak, but its better than nothing.
i just hopoe they dont mind wainting a while cuz a 55 takes a while to fill. But then again if they want to get rid of it..;... Thanks
a 55 shouldnt take that long to fill...if you ask them to fill it they should use the hose. my 135 took about an hour to fill
Every used tank I have ever bought was up and running when I first seen it or I had them fill it up.
More importantly check the plastic frame for brittleness/cracks.and the glass for scratches.a leaky tank can be resealed for a few bucks but if your setting up a showtank scratches will annoy you
