Aquarium Advice Addict
I have an opportunity to purchase a used 60 gal tank with hob filter, aquaclear 400 I think for $99. My problem is that it is from a second hand store and quite dirty, I have no way of knowing if it would leak or not obviously. The tank is 4' x2' x1'. Would anyone recommend taking the chance? And I know how to clean the tank, even how to reseal if it turns out to be necessary, but how do I clean out the filter? It has white caked on stuff on it. The aquarium comes with a hood, no lights or stand. On the other hand I am able to get another used tank, 75 gal canopy tank with filter, hood and lights, stand, gravel and decorations for $250.00. I know this one doesn't leak, I've seen it in use. That one is much more likely to be something I will purchase for sure. Opinions?
