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.

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

Sure a tank if its acrylic or glass is fixable. Acrylic is easy to fix
over glass. If acrylic its easy to wick in some weldon #3 or #4
solvent, and / or apply a bead or so of Weldon #16, or even apply a
patch of acrylic over a crack usuig weldon solvent..

Glass is just as do able by replaceing internal silicone seals or
fillets, and even glass panels can be replaced......

Get back to the VA where they can help you feel good about yourself again in
a positive way, not a
destructive way where you have to harm people like old ladies and cripples
in wheelchairs to get gratification and
satisfaction with your life. You don't need to suffer. Get help before you
killsomeone or have someone killed........ GET HELP!

Why aren't you destroying this group like you did all the others Roy Tristan
Hauer? What makes this group immune to your personal attacks on just about
every poster on the pond and aquarium groups? Is it because you consider
this your home group or because no one questions you here and causes you to
go into one of your psychotic episodes? Do you feel like a hero for
destroying the other groups? How low can you go man?

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.

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