    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Removing scratches is a lot work. It is drilled or does it have an overflow?

    Myself I would wait for a better deal, but if you like a challenge go for it. :)

    I'd offer him 75 and buy a scratch removal kit and you should be good to go.

    It is likely a 72G bow front and they have a horrible reputation for the back seem to split and dump all 72G on the floor. Personally has happened to me twice.
    Couldn't pay me to fill one of these up with water

    The first time it was about 5am when the breaker popped waking my wife. And the scream woke me up. I was able to get everything out and into tubs and my LFS was fast at getting me another tank. 4 months later the second 72G popped the seam at the same place. That is when replaced it with a 75G flat front

    No!

    Don't do it. Save yourself a ton of money in the long run and get a glass 55 gal or so reef cube. They fit the new computerized led boxes perfect and, with good salt, a serious skimmer and serious RO HI-S membrane you can run with little or no water changes.
