Used tank. Worth it or no?

[newreeferr]

This guy was originally selling for 150 32g bio cube setup with tank, tank , heater. I got him down to $90. Said the tanks been in use for about a year just does not have the time to care to this take as it his second one. For coral and fish would this be a good steal ? I’d the pump or anything was to be crappy in it are all parts in the bio cube replaceable ?

If the tank is only a year old and it all works then it's probably a fine deal.

Just the whole 32gal for 90 seem like a super steal if it’s all good.

Just make sure it doesn't leak first.

He had to drain water out of it at first so it deff doesn’t leak

Might be worth it, I have this tank and had nothing but issues with it working properly and I got mine new. Currently a QT tank (until something else broke) and now I cant use it, but when the biocube worked it was awesome!

Yeah, mine was finicky too, and I ended up hating the distortion!

And the lighting… horrible! Op if you get the tank I suggest upgrading lighting especially for corals

Could be worth it! $90 doesn't seem like a bad price

I paid about that for a similar tank 10 years ago and thought it was a good deal.

IMHO no, I dislile the bio cubes for some reason. never owned one so they have done me no harm. but something about them i dislike cant say what it is tho.
seems like to many mods are needed to make it a good reef.

i suggest a classic 40BR can get on at petco for $40 on there $1 per gallon sale they have 4ish times a year.
great size tanks and you can do so much more with them. ( when you upgrade to a bigger tank you can use it for a sump to! )
just my 2 cents tho.

Could you send a pic of the tank? I just haven’t wanted to get a tank that didn’t have built in filtration.

That doller a gallon is full price plus tax then 1doller off per gallon

One of the best starter tanks and space is generous for its size and the filtration area on back also generous for a media basket and small skimmer. There is minimal sealing as the face and sides are one piece molded making it one of the best tanks less likely to leak
