Its reef ready. As long as no deep scratches or leaks- well worth it. Tank alone sells for $400

I bought a used 120 gallon a year ago just like that one. It is a great way to start out for low money. But the overflows take up space and I just feel now that a new tank with a different overflow would have been a better option.

Definitely check carefully for scratches. Not a great sign that he didn’t at least clean it before putting it up for sale IMO.

No deep scratches? Good silicone? Leaks? Not a bad price, offer less tho

I don’t think it’s a bad price. I agree: check silicone and for scratches. But if it includes sump and plumbing I think it’s a fair deal- provided silicone is good to go and it has minimal scratches. A few small ones are to be expected with used tanks, and a huge gouge will annoy you for ever.

I wouldn't worry about needing new bulkheads. Actually on a used tank I'd replace the bulkheads no matter what...

If it holds water and isn't scratched up, yes.

Personally I'd remove one of the overflow boxes, run a Herbie drain and have the return coming up and over on the opposite side of the remaining overflow. Patch the removed overflow holes with a piece of glass and silicone or bulkheads and plugs.

I agree, I would replace all bulkheads. It's cheap and easy.

That's a pretty good deal.

I would grab it if I was in the area, I'm looking for something similar to add an anemone tank with clownfish harem to my system

Any regrets? He told me ir may need a new bulk, so already I'm like eeeek.
No because I looked at a few for that price and I picked the best one. I don’t mind replacing bulkheads, Re sealing the caulk joints or adding and replacing overflows. I buy cheap to spend more on the stuff I can’t fix haha
