Tank plumbing and stand question

Thespammailaccount · Mar 5, 2020

I found this online for sale and going to look at it today. I have not plumbed a tank before. The person selling it does not know much about the tank. They said it’s a 90 gallon but the dimensions seams like it is a 120. My questions. There is a trim around the tank. Can I place this tank on a flat set face or does the trim need to hang over the edges? There are three holes drilled in the bottom. I can use these three holes to add a sump correct but why is there not an overflow do I need one or what kind of set up is it? On the second picture it looks like two of the holes are rather small or maybe just appears small is there a recommended hole size for this size of tank?

It's a little difficult to tell from the pictures, however in the second picture it looks like there was an overflow (above the three holes) that was removed.
This would be pretty typical for a tank like this that had an internal overflow.

I don't think I would use that tank.

If the price is right I'd go for it. I'd go maybe $150 on it. The big gamble is if it holds water or not.

Looks like a 120 that just had the overflow removed. You can make one out of acrylic, or just run the pipes to the top without any type of overflow.

What do you see that could possibly be a problem

They are asking $80.00 can hardly pass on the deal
