OK, as you know, we purchased a used tank and stand from someone off Facebook marketplace. It was pitch black when we got there and the house had no power so all we had were our cell phone flashlights. My husband started working on cleaning it today and noticed that it has to have been dropped at some point and has chips around seams that are just to big to feel safe with. Bye bye $$$$...
Ok, so I cannot afford a brand new tank at this point. I found a listing on Craigslist Atlanta and wonder if anyone would be willing to check it out and give me opinions?

I am so sorry to hear that. Could you post some pics of the chips for our info?
 
You should post some pictures of the chip and seam. It may be structurally sound and ok.

I work out in Cumming. I could possibly go by and take a look during the day or after I get off of work.
 
So sorry you are going through this! Hopefully, you will find a good solution soon.
 
Going to look at this one Saturday. The guy said he used to be a member of ARC. This was recessed inside a wall. He has it filled with plain water right now so we can see it is free from leaks.20200116_171639.jpg
 
Are you able to see the sale forums on this site? There’s an insane deal at GaTech...

From the pictures, this looks like it is a decent deal. Not sure what lights those are though.

I know you were looking for a 125 since you have the stand. There is a gentleman looking for just a stand/canopy and someone with a full setup for 300. Perhaps you can work out a deal between the two of you to make it happen. I'll see if I can find the link.
 

Here is the link. @ptreef is the one selling the combo. @Cj Williams is the one looking for just a stand. This could be a match made in heaven. :D

Good looking out man. That would be perfect.

I just wanted to thank you so much for your effort in helping us out. We went and looked at the tank for sale and decided to buy the whole thing and scrap what we've got or sell the tank as a reptile only enclosure and the stand separate. We cannot thank you enough, and our new sump will fit under it perfectly, no alterations needed. I dont know how to show our appreciation for all the help.

The best way to show appreciation is to start/continue a build thread. We all love seeing new tanks go up! Best of luck to you!

Well, also, my wife is a 4H agent here in west GA and she's gettig ready to get some program animals for her students. She might be interested in the chipped tank/stand if you do decide to sell.
