used aquarium

First time poster, longtime reader of reef2reef! I currently have a 29 gallon FOWLR tank that I've had for two years; I've had a lot of success with it. I love this hobby, and I'm now ready to get a large reef tank, probably in the 125-170 gallon range (i.e., just big enough to house a tang or...

1st post here, sorry if any of this is re-post but I just want to be sure I'm doing things right. I bought a 180ish gallon used from a local store, it’s been dry stored in a garage tell I was able to get to setting up. Well life happened and it got moved 3 times and one of the top braces got...

Any used tank advice needed. Might get a running WB 90.3 that’s 5 years old. Would anyone hesitate due to older seals? Pictures look clean, has some upgrades, reefmat, return pump, decent skimmer. I don’t want to spring a leak in two years so is it worth just starting new?

Hello everyone from South Florida. I am not new to this site, it’s a great resource that I have used frequently to answer my questions about reefing. But, I don’t post much because almost all questions I had were already answered here. But I’ve been reefing for little over a year. I started...

I recently bought a running system from someone trying to get out the hobby. It was running at their home when I picked it up. The livestock included 2 damsels, a small torch, 2 small duncan colonies, and a toadstool leather. It took about 5 hours to get it broken down, transported to my house...

So let me get this started by introducing myself. My username is homage to my 2 crazy kids 4 and 8, they sure do always keep me on my feet. I am a long time freshwater keeper, my last tank being a 90g planted with C02. I have some close friends in the hobby who finally pushed me to take the...

I came across a used RedSea Reefer XXL 625 for a great price and I remember hearing that there were some issues with the older RedSea models stand and support system. Would anyone know if the 625 fell under that category and if that is something I should worry about when looking to purchase the...

I’ve already got a build thread on here but I’m making a new one since this is a new tank! It’s a BioCube 16 LED and I got it completely dry, with nothing but the tank, pump, and a couple unopened filter cartridges. I did not know it was a used tank, but it is, and I found out after the fact -...

Hi Everyone, I have had saltwater aquariums for the past 15 years and kept everything from seahorses (in a FOWLR setup) to reef-keeping. I currently have a 46 gallon bowfront reef tank that has been running for the past 8 years. I recently purchased a 180 gallon bowfront (74x24x24) that I will...

Hi, I just purchased a used 180 gallon bowfront aquarium that is going to need to work before I can get it up and running. It currently is drilled for a single overflow in the right corner but I am considering adding an additional overflow in the left corner for better water filtration down to...

Howdy! As stated in the title, proud owner of a new Max Nano. Filled it with freshwater to check all of the systems. Pumps appear to be working fine so will drain and buy some RO/DI saltwater from the LFS and some live sand and rock to get started! A couple questions though: 1) What is the...

Hello everyone Today I will pick up a used Red Sea Max Nano from a guy in my community. He just moved all fish and corals into his second (and bigger) tank. Now as the tank was running until yesterday it will come pretty "dirty". Now I wanted to ask you guys, how would you properly clean the...

I'm new to the hobby and picked up this 125g used tank a few days ago. The gentleman I bought it from still had water in it until the morning I went and picked it up. Now that I have been able to look it over, I've noticed areas in the seams where he must have hit the silicone with the algae...

Hey there! I'm new here, but not new to the hobby. I've had freshwater and saltwater tanks, on and off for about 30 years. My 16-year-old son recently expressed an interest in getting a saltwater tank (we currently have freshwater), so I jumped at the chance to get back in and do this together...

Hello all, Recently I bought a used 29 gallon that I’m planning on using as a sump from a guy on an aquarium forum. He said that no chemicals had been used in it, and the prior use was to cure live rock. I have no reason not to believe him, but as this is my first foray into saltwater aquariums...
