47 gl Eheim rimless glass tank?

[destinationreef]

Hi everybody

I have an opportunity to purchase a used 47 eheim rimless glass tank for 150 CAD. This would be my first tank up from a 15 gallon fresh water. I’m moving into reef and saltwater fish (so excited). Is this tank a good choice - do any of you have or know stuff about it that would help me make this decision
I have asked for it to be filled so I can look for leaks before I make the purchase.
Thanks

I'd look at what it has for a sump (external, internal all-in-one, no sump) as this will limit your optiona for filtration, etc.

it is not reef ready so just know you will need to use hang on back equiptment or drill it if you want a sump.

I am currently working on building one of these into a reef. I'll be using all HOB equipment, and it will be primarily LPS with some softies and RBTA.
