Of course there's a catch.
2 seams (front, top right and back, top left) have bubbles and one expands once filled with water so I don't want to take a chance. The bubbles are located on the top of the seams about 4 inches. If you know how to repair these kinds of things, perfect. I purchased this tank used and the previous owned had it planted. I believe this is one of the older models of the ADA - my new one is much thicker and more clear.
Pros: Overall good condition. Not many scratches. Tank only. Free.
Cons: The two seam issues. There are 3 holes drilled on the bottom of the tank where I put in a center overflow (which i removed) -- easily patched with another sheet of glass. There's still some black silicone where I removed the center overflow. Don't have much time to take care of this.
This was right before I did my leak test and discovered the bad seam.
Before and after of seam with water.
