Skimmer tank and aquarium I turned into sump.
Skimmer is a reef octo 110int. It's great, I cannot imagine ever avoiding second hand on a skimmer. The pump can always be replaced.
Aquriums are just the basic aqueons, I can't imagine them ever being a bad move. Silicon check passes, or redo the silicon. Maybe when getting it wet the first time run some stuff to pull out the chemicals the previous owner maybe was unaware of. Got one that is super old and when I was cycling it I threw in cuprisorb and it def pulled a lot out. Other tanks have never pulled anything out, but better safe than sorry.
I got a lot of second hand super old jebaos, for free though. They were dry for a little over 3 years but all worked.
