Bought this 60G Cube + equipment for 150$ USD

[SomeHappyFish]

Technically I paid in Canadian but most you guys are in the U.S so I adjusted the price.
No I.D on the tank, stand or sump and silicon still looks good.


What I got:
-60G built in 2014
-Black stand
-20G sump
-Jebao Pump (No I.D)
-All PVC pipes done
-Bubble magus curve 7

Nice score, did you see it full ? if not I would leak test w tap water,question is how long has it been sitting empty.

That's a steal! Can't wait to see what you turn this into!

Thanks!

I did not see it full, but I will be doing a leak test for sure, even if I had seen it full, I would have done a 48h-72h leak test, since some are slow leaks.

The guy said it had been empty of water for 2 weeks before the purchase.

If any leaks present, I will be redoing the silicone. I have a bit of experience redoing an aquarium.

Wow thanks! It's extactly the same model.

I have exactly the same one, (10 years old) and I discovered that I had a slight leak between the sump and the Ro/di reserve. in theory it would be better if I redid the silicon in this place. but if it leaks there, maybe all the silicon should be redo "just in case".

Sump looks good, but I might change it for a bit bigger one I'm not sure.

The RoDi reserver is a bit small for a 60G, I might had a bigger reservoir next to the sump.

 

[Patx]

yes, the ro reserve is small. but the advantage if the ATO jams on, the tank can handle it. (real story) but I admit that my tank has a lid which prevents evaporation. I also covered the reserve (piece of plexiglass)

I had inspect the tank at the location but...


This looked like plastic marks but they are small crack. I needed a small step to see them on top...

Then this one was hidden under the right bottom of the silicone.

I don't know what to do...

[Patx]

Tank, skimmer, stand, valve, pump... still a good deal.
The sump... dure à dire... c'est pile ou face... risky

Since you have experience with redoing tanks, are you going to replace the panel?

I will call my local glass shop and ask for a price for 2 24" x 24" panel and see how much it is... Might cost the same has a new tank these days...

If its too expensive, I will try and resell it to someone who wants it even if its risky.

 

[SomeHappyFish]

I could undo the silicone, and trim about 1" under all side turning my tank into a 24x24x23" keeping most of the volume.

60G -> 57 Gallon + 20G sump = 77G total.

This might be the cheaper option.

But I need to know if its tempered or not...

Also does it look like clear glass or low iron to you guys?
