It has been alleged that silicone can absorb and leach copper.

If you can find one owned by a serious hobbyist who would candidly discuss a used tank's age and history with you (so you can make a sound decision), that would be ideal. I just don't know how likely it is.

i reseal any tank i get regardless of its age or who owned it


imo buying a complete set up is the only way to go, tear the set up down and cook rock and clean equipment, keep what you want sell the rest....



my whole system was very cheap. a little love and its now a system



unless dollars is no object of course...a good setup can be bought complete for 1000-1500 any less i would be skeptical anymore and it better be worth it

like when buying anything its buyer beware, research your buys and ask those with knowlege to double check yopur potential purchase


dallas was great to meet you when you get a tank come back and see me i will frag you right up lol:P
