Used tank....

[SeaLady]

I found a 45 ga bowfront tank on Craigslist, here in town. It is currently being used. I looked at it, its very clean, has a couple of fish. Shes had the tank for 10 years. It has double the filter power using 2 bio wheel filters.

Should I plan on sealing all the seams if I buy it? I mean, how long does an aquarium last? Thanks

If it's currently set up and has no leaks I'd say it's good to go. I love my 46 gallon bowfront, it's a great looking tank.

+1 to the above

If the silicone looks good, it is still holding water, and it has not sat a long time without water in it, you should be fine

But having said that, you can easily re-seal the tank if you are worried about leaks

Thank you for your input...I am currently "negotiating" a price....

Would it be rude to ask what shes asking?

[SeaLady]

$200. Includes very sturdy stand and many extras

[SeaLady]

I believe she'll take $150

[Slaphppy7]

That's a decent deal, all things considered...offer $125 cash, see what she says

[SeaLady]

I did, but her hubby says no. They're going out of town for a week, I'm thinking I better snap it up at 150

Still a good deal, if you can swing it
