Tell them you want to see it run. Make sure the disconnects work properly. I would buy new carbon and new sponges. I would boil the ceramic noodles if it comes with them. Clean everything in the filter (baskets). I bought my filter used for the turtles. I have 2 fluvals running my freshwater tank, they are great filters. Someone else may chime in on their thoughts.
