The easiest thing for large fish that i've found are rubbermaid stock tanks. A 300 gallon one is sturdy as anything i've seen and for the volume reasonably priced. The other one i've seen but cant roll through the door is 600 gallons but its 8 feet around and i've yet to puzzle out how to shove that through a door.

the rubbermaids have drains that can be modified of over flows for filtration, self standing and i love them for indoor and out door ponds in a pinch.

I'm beginning to really like RM stock tanks. They are so versitile.

I'm planning on using a 100 g as a look down clam and zoa tank. I saw one rigged with a simple pvc shower drain that I can plumb into my sump.

I agree. You will also find a few pet stores who use the rubbermaids for stock their coral or live rock
