Default Advise about buying a used tank

I've been offered a 125G acryclic USED tank with some LR.

My question is what signs should I be looking for? I'm afraid of leaks or
parasites on the rock.
How strong the stand has to be to support such weight?

Also, if I get it, metal halides are a must, but, I heard the should be
keep inside a canopy for safety reasons, how true is that?

And last, what's the difference between metal halides and HQI metal
halides?

Any comments would be appreciated.

TIA


Ruben
