Assesment of a roughly 10 year old tank…
I found an old tank in the shed, and was wondering what the risks would be for using it again for a single goldfish, or some guppies I’d stab at a guess and say it’s just under 5 gallon maybe. It measures 45cm length 25cm depth and 25cm width
I’m going to clean it up with `Bioclear’ and take some photos for you all
There was also an old corner filter. But I doubt that’s very efficient anymore. I plugged it into the power point to see if it still works. And it still does. But I’m probably better off getting a new one anyway. I even found an U/G filter, but I’m ditching that without a second thought.
I think the tank itself is roughly 10 years old. There is a chip in one of the top corners, as you will see in the photo. But I don’t think it’s a safety hazard, I will have to buy new foam for the tank to sit on, because I couldn’t find it with what was in the shed, but I’m sure it’s probably degraded by now anyway.
The overall condition of the tank at first glance seems okay. I can’t find any cracks. But I will thoroughly scan it later.
But I would like your opinions please. Thanks
Lisa
