this is it! this is going to be my show tank!

drive 1 over this way, I'll give ya $100 for it!

 

If I do the math right that's over a hundred gallon tank!!!! That's pretty crazy to be that thin. Nice find!!!

 

yeah! do you think i could fir 2-3 tangs in there? i know its not much volume but its a total of 11 feet in length along the corner. wouldnt they have plenty of swimming room?

 

Only thing I would watch for is the 10" width, pretty hard for a 12" fish to turn around in 10" lol. Depending on the tang species you want to keep you may get away with it.

 

Interestingly enough, this guy has come across 12 of them. Think the company that built them went out of business and he acquired the warehouse and all items inside? If not that, why else sell them for 80 bucks knowing the original sell price? He obviously needs to get rid of them. I'd find a place to store those bad boys (like a buddy that lives in the country with some land) and buy the whole lot like Cosmo said. For 500 bucks it'd be worth the delivery with your truck to drive and sell them. Definitely sell faster with delivery included too.....Keep it within a certain mileage. JMO

 

the guy said they were originally meant to be built into the walls of the boulder library but some plans fell through and thats how he acquired them. that is a good idea, if i had the money to just buy them all haha.

 

Looks pretty cool.

Some thoughts:

- At 10" wide it will be tough to aquascape them. You'll probebly have to use lucite rods, PVC or other securing mechanism and get some skinny pieces of live rock to stand straight up.

- Do you have a room that is 14' wide with no doors at one end? Get two of em and plumb them together with tubes! (in a U shape). Probably too much, but think about how cool that would be.

- I don't think lighting will be that bad. Two 60" T5 fixtures would cover the entire thing. Four bulb fixtures over a 10" tank will let you grow a lot of stuff.

 

Thanks for the input. Haha I don't think I'll hav that much room anywhere. I think I'll have trouble funding one tank as us lol.
