using used stock tank as filter

So earlier you said as long as its not chalky? What do you mean by that? as if the material is falling apart?

BTW
That is an amazing setup you have there!! Very beautiful tank!

Thanks!

Plastic will get a "chalky" feel to it once all the plasticizers start to get cooked out of it. If you rub your hand on it you can feel it, plus the plastic will have a matte look about it.

In your opinion if it has no cracks but just chalky how much strength would be left and would it be worth buying?
