I picked this up tonight for $50. It's 100~ gallons. Measurements read closer to 95 I think, but it's suppose to be 100. The reason I'm looking for some advice is because it seems that this tank is pretty old, and a little beaten. I was told that there was a turtle in this tank recently, and it had been emptied because the people I bought it from were moving out of town. The tank shows signs of water having been in it, and probably a turtle at that, but it does look as if it has a few cracks in it. But for $50 I could hardly pass it up. I figure as long as it doesn't shatter on me, if it doesn't hold water I can probably get my money back for it from someone looking to house a large reptile.
The tank is missing some of its plastic/metal trim parts. The ones that seem more important would be the bottom pieces. I realize that the trim is more for looks than anything else really because it isn't a support piece, but I do think it helps to protect the glass. My case for this is this seems to be the place where the cracks are found. Two of the corners seem to be cracked, neither all the way through however, just on the outside.
The longer I sit and stare at the thing, and think about it the more nervous I get to even put anything in it. I'll try and get some pictures of the cracks in the morning when the sun is out because the light in the room is currently broken. I just want to see if anyone has any suggestions on whether I should even bother, or just try and get my money back out of it.
