Second hand tanks

I may be given a tank by my neighbour, it was her sons and i remember it when it was set up.

At the moment i'm not sure how old it is but my question is how old is too old?? Has anybody experience or advice on this?

I have this fear that i'd set all up and then the seals burst! I think it is about 75ltrs, cabinate type maybe more.

Before i accept it etc i'd love to hear your comments......TY x

And also look at th seals to see if they look dried out compared to a new tank.

Re: Second hand tanks

You can get tank sealant for really cheap at your LFS or even Walmart to fix it if you are nervous. I would make sure it is a glass tank vs. acrylic since they are a little sturdier and don't yellow with age making them harder to see through.
