Hey guys,

I have a new 125g drilled in the back glass ready to be installed in our living room wall below or large screen TV. I'm talking with a guy that is selling his Aqueon 210g glass tank that's about 7 yrs old.

Is it worth the extra height and depth than my 125g ? It means more RO/DI water, evaporated water and salt. It's for sale for $400 and maybe less. I can see it in person about 50 minutes from me. It has 2 built in overflows, which takes up room.

Yeah, that's always a concern.

A local store owner and is a friend, can reseal any tank, but I don't know the cost.
I wish it was longer than 72" for larger fish to swim. But, it's taller and has more depth for aquascapes and coral placements.
