Yeah, I couldn't pass it up for $50.
It will have to be resealed. When it is filled to the top, one corner of the bottom rim gets slightly wet. After five days of being leak tested, there is still no water on the concrete and there is no visible signs of it gushing water. There is just a very slight maybe one drip per 12 hours type of leak in one corner.
Does the tank need to be completely resealed??
I'm not going to be able to set it up for a few years - at least not until I can buy my own home with my new job. :D But, at least I will have it when I do. I mean, I just got a $2200 tank for $50!!! woohoo!!!
It's also not drilled. I will have to drill overflow holes in it. I'm not sure if the bottom is tempered or not. It probably is. However, if it isn't, I will definitely be drilling it for a closed loop.
Anyways, just wanted to share.

Sweet!!!!!
My theory is if it's not broke don't fix it. Hopefully it wont sit in storage for 16 years like my tank did.
