Lobster tank
All the lobster tanks I've seen are pretty trashy looking, all scratchy, supermarket plexi-glass doesn't usually look showroom. They are usually pretty thick too, assuming they are the commercial kind that is, you would definitely have to custom build some sort of canopy.
I would stick to actual aquariums, its nice to know where something is coming from and also to know that there are no leaks or stress points waiting to explode!!!
I bought a second hand tank once, 33gallon, no leaks, silocone seals all good. 2 weeks later it burst apart at the seams, what a freakin mess, no refund either because it was second hand. luckily I only had
LR in there. You get what you pay for, not withstanding the fact that you occasionally do find a diamond in the rough.!
So, its your call, if its dirt cheap, go for it, but really give it a good inspection in and out, pull on the edges to see if there is any buckling and such, maybe fill it up with fresh water and let it sit over night with no pumps or anything, just to check the levels in the morning, so you know for sure if it leaks, but by then you already paid for it, so back to what I said in the previous paragraph, you pays your moneys yous takes your chances!!!
