Should I buy this tank?
I’m looking to buy myself a tank to house pufferfish, would this even work? It’s a Red Sea 650-s Max without the lights. 150 gallon display tank, the glass is pretty scratched up so it’s cheap. Do you guys think the scratches are still going to be bad once filled with water? I don’t know if it matters so much that the lights aren’t included because I want to set up a FOWLR. Is it worth $850? Pictures of the tank and scratches on the glass are included below:

Scratches are a pain when it comes to eventual algae removal, assuming it doesn't leak or have any other structural issues. I think $850 is way too high, even if the stand is included, and this one appears to have plumbing that may test your patience, i.e. multiple pumps.
I'd love to see someone actually selling a tank that's still up and running to help instill confidence that it doesn't leak. |
