Default Advise about buying a used tank

The tank will have about 300# LR with everything (corals, inverts, anemones)
because I will transfer everything from my actual tank.


Yeah, but that will displace water and be heavier than water. 125 gallons of
salt water weighs over half a ton. Now add in the weight of the stand, tank, and
equipment, and you're in the 1200 pound range before you put in the rock. A good
guess is 1300 to 1500 pounds, stand and all.

In the event the tank has a leak, is it fixable? How is that done?


Tristan's post is accurate. I've fixed leaks in glass tanks, but not acrylic.

If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess
to anything.
