72 gallon bowfront
My LFS has a 72 gallon bowfront tank with the stand. It is used, and apparently has a small chip in the back. He says it won't damage the integrity of the tank. Also he says the stand can use a coat of paint.
but, the upside is it's $350. Should I buy it? Current Aquarium(s) Description: *72 gallon bowfront reef *55 gallon freshwater puffer/cichld tank Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: One Year

Re: 72 gallon bowfront
ummmm i say no. The price doesnt seem to be all the cheap for being a used & damaged tank. I'd skip this one.

Re: 72 gallon bowfront
Got to wander if the chip has caused any microscopic cracks in the glass.
I wouldnt buy it.

Re: 72 gallon bowfront
thanks guys, I wasn't sure. I know that here you would pay $1100.00 for them new, so it seemed like a good price, but like youv'e said, what good is an aquarium that leaks?

Re: 72 gallon bowfront
Michelle where in Canada do you live? South Eastern Ontario by any chance? I can hook you with a great deal on as many 72 bows as you would like.

Re: 72 gallon bowfront
I agree....I wouldnt use any tank that has a chip/crack in it for fish. It might work good for a small snake or lizard cage. But even then thats still priced high for a used and damaged tank.
