Elos tank advice

[Jeremy257]

I like rimless tanks. I love the reefer series. I can get a good deal on an Elos 160xl but based on the pictures of the tank I'd say it is probably 8-10 years old. The style of the stand is what dates it. It's in flawless condition. It is the complete system with sump, skimmer, water top off and return pump.

Would you buy a ten year 8-10 year old system?

Personally... no.

Jeremy, I feel you. Coming from experience... you really just never know what the problems are with a used tank. You could think it's in "perfect" condition and someone didn't disclose "oh theres a crack here and it leaks, or I had to reseal it."

If I were you, I would buy a new system.

Thanks for the advice folks. I will wait and buy new.
