1000 gallon tank for a measly $9000 on craigslist
Dayammm!!

Maybe SD members can all chip in at $10 a head and place the tank at SD central - which is in Conneticut - then we can mount live cameras in it.
drop like 50 Discus in there!

Only 1000 gallons?
Not big enough for one of those monster fish I like to have.

8'x4'x4', a tad over 950 gal. by my calculations. Still a decent size. A tank that size would weigh a ton! It really doesn't look that big in the photo. :) I like this one better, a 2000 gal. custom Tenecor.

here's another thought. Can you imagine it NOT withstanding an earthquake..

I believe that water weighs about 7.5 pounds per gallon. When full, that tank weighs over 7,000 pounds or about 3.5 tons. Better have a good stand and an even better floor!

Oh yeah, absolutely. Anything other than a concrete floor supporting a steel stand would be a disaster waiting to happen.

I like the one in the picture you posted. Wonder how much that one goes for.
A couple of months back, on CL, there was a guy selling a 2x4x4 aquarium with stand for $900.
Even that one would require some serious foundational reinforcement.

I would have 1-2 rays or maybe some red head geos. Then a breeding pair of Hoplarchus psittacus with a school of heckle discus. Maybe some festivums for the top. I would try to fit a mango pleco in. The tank would have lots of wood maybe a tree. sand bottom with some floating plants. A sweet costom 3d background would be nice something that looks like roots. That's my dream tank.

And don't forget to add a school of 500 big fat cardinals. Now that would be my dream tank.

I could put my wife in there with a snorkel and a mop!!

I'd throw my peacock bass in there, and let them run wild! They would think they were back in Peru! :D
