So as ALL of you know, I had a 150g tank that leaked, small leak in an upper seam.
I sold that tank very clearly stating it needed to be resealed and did NOT hold water,
When I sold it, there was some sand and salt stain on the glass still.
I sold it and the stand for 125$

I go on kijiji today and I see this -

Here's a pic from his ad, yea it's my old tank 100%

Now, it's still dirty, was never cleaned so I know it hasn't been resealed,
I send a friendly email to the gentleman ( with a fake address) asking if it's in good condition and holds water
Here's the reply...

I can't believe it..... Please no one buy this and take it home only to find out it leaks.....

Yes shady is a good start.....  hope whoever buys it asks to water test it first


Yea even then, there's ways to work around that right... Just let anyone looking know what's up , I hate to be even remotely connected to someone's tank leaking

He probably just added a dab of silicone to the leak area. I feel sorry for the person who buys this. Someone should set up a meet and offer the guy 125 like he paid after calling him out on the supposed reseal of the dirty tank.

Thing is is just told him it was on this seam, I didn't say where on the seam, and by the look of the salt stain he hasn't filled it up with water to even test it

Looks like he changed the ad...

'I am having tank resealed as we speak and will post pics of completed work once I have time.'

Well at least three of us inquired about whether or not it holds water.  Anyone else?  Perhaps that prompted the edited ad.

This is one reason I would never buy a used tank from kijiji unless it was small or fully setup and running to verify.
