I purchased a 20g tank on OfferUp and although the guy told me that he cleaned it, there were a few pebbles (they used it as a freshwater tank) at the bottom but barely any. This might've hidden the about 4 inch crack that I just found while cleaning the pebbles out before starting to set it up. The crack doesn't go to the outside, it's just on the inside. I'm nervous about putting sand, water etc in it. What should I do? :(
It's a 20g honestly take ur loss and get another one
Isn’t is still dollar per gallon right now too?

How deep is it? U could add silicone in there to secure and create a new seal but like Casinova said, I don't think it's worth the risk to have bigger problems in the long run :/
20g isn't a crazy loss better off looking here on the forum for any 20g or find out when Petco has the $1 per gallon sale. Always inspect everything prior to leaving the sale location.
Wouldn’t risk it hobby is just too expensive to take those kind of gamble.
Resell it as a terrarium.
+1 re-sell, for use as a terrarium. Not worth the risk of using for fish/coral.
Thank you everyone. I agree I should've done a closer inspection of the tank. Was so excited to get started today :/ I'll look on here for a replacement.
I have a few 20g talls and 20g longs (used) for $10/ea
Was the tank anything specific? as in make or model? or was it just a standard tank? I have a rad 20 gallon tall that I used for my first reef tank, Ill give it over for free man! I have a ton of other stuff I can help you out with as well! feel free to text me (760)716-0994Quote:
