Hello, i want to get an octopus tank. I have been reading up on equipment ill need and have been looking on craigslist. I have found an aquarium tank that comes with filters, light, tank, and a fan. Exact specs are these
Glass Tank (48L x 12W x 21H) has some small scratches
- Stand with 3 doors (55L x 20W x 32 1/2H)
- 2 Filstar Filters 1 XP1 and one XP-S
- 3 LED Lights 1 34 1/2L inch over tank light and 2 submersible 20 1/2L inch led lights
- 1 underwater fan
All priced for $275 (main reason i want to buy this "set")
Now, it seems the previous owner used the saltwater tank for fish, what things should i look for or make sure of before buying? (i have read things about copper and am wondering if she used a copper based chemical if there is anyway to get rid of any trace of it, or if i should just stay away from this purchase and just buy brand new equipment from my LFS)
If this equipment will work for an Octo-Tank? (i know i need some more things)
And anything else you guys have to warn me about or any advice
Thank you for any help
Chad
