I only Wish - Lets see ur big tanks

[Elcid]

Hi Guyz:

I've been salivating about this tank on ebay for a few days. I could never have it but it's just mind blowing! If you have a big tank let's see it :). Here's the link:

IMO, it is never a good idea to buy used tanks since you have no idea what kind of shape the tank is till too late.

For 1400+, you could add few more dollars to get a new one. Maybe not as big as that one. Keep in mind that it is 10 pounds per gallon. A 290 g tank will weight about 3000 pounds. Most floor may have problem supporting it.

Hey Fishlover:

Good point and thanks for that, my dream is already crumbling, hmm 3000 lbs, about the weight of a small car? :)

take care,

Still fun to dream about! It would be great in a basement on concrete flooring.

We have a 200 gallon and our floor supports it but we have a one story house...

Youll find the tank thats just right for you....youll see.

And hey...everyone is just being honest....that's what you wanted right?;)

For that much money, you could probably get a brand new one from here (http://www.glasscages.com).

You can get a New 200 gallon arcylic tank at www.tenecor.com for less.

A friend has a 220 as a room divider...we re-enforced the basement wall it sits on and then put 3 layers of 3/4'' plywood on the main floor to help distribute the weight on the joists............10 years later it's just fine...it can be done with some thought

I'm used to seeing 150 or 200 gallon but a 300 or 400 gallon tank, now that's a dream :) Thanks for the links but I'm not looking to buy a tank, just dreamin! :)

take care,
