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?
 
I would always hesitate when it comes to a used tank unless you personally know the owner and tank history. Without knowing price, details, etc. it's hard to offer more than just a general take.
 
I'm pretty bad about churning through tanks. I've had maybe a dozen or more tanks so far. I've had great success with used tanks with no issues. Interesting it's the 3 new ones that I had issues with - 2 cracked and 1 leaked. I'm going on 3 yrs on a used Red Sea 425xl. It's pretty easy to see if a tank was neglected in the pictures and when seeing it in person so any potential problems can be avoided.
