This was once a shark tank for a traveling science education program. The acrylic is about 1.5X the thickness of your normal acrylic tank, and it has been reinforced allong all seams, it will never leak. It was only in use for about a year, then sat in storage for another year, then I bought it and it sat for another year, Then just today I put in all new plumbing, cleaned the tank, bleached the stand, added filter media, and installed the Pump, Heater, and Lights. It is an awesome setup, and I'm tempted to keep it myself, but I really don't need another 200+ gallon aquarium at this point in my life, so my loss your gain. Here are pics.

Asking Price for the Tank $700 FIRM

I also have for sale a 22" ornate bichir (Polypterus ornatipinnis). Great Prehistoric Fish, by far the biggest Bichir I've ever seen, it is even bigger than the ones they used to have at the Belle Isle Aquarium. Here are some pics, they are about a year old, he has grown about an inch and fattened up, But you get the idea.

The tank is located on the I-75 service drive at at Clay St. (first exit north of I-94) and my place has a loading dock the same height as the tailgate of a pickup truck, so loading will be very easy.
 
:WHOA: Holy MF ...K ! That's a big bichir ! BUMP for a nice tank and big bichir.

Holy Bichir! too bad I'm not closer.

I can ship, but it would be the full 150+shipping, which I'd immagine would be anywhere from $50-100 depending on weight and distance

but if you or anyone else is serious, let me know

thanks for the interest
 
$700 for that set up is definitely a killer deal. i would take it if u r in socal. anyways, good luck with the sale, it shouldn't take long ^^
 
If you are willing to ship the tank and everything, I can probably take it.
 
Or if you are willing to drive, I will pay extra. We could meet somewhere half way(maybe).

Probabally not, but if there is no local interest within the week I may consider it.
I'd immagine shipping would be outrageous, and my truck gets like 8 miles to the gallon so either way it would be very expensive to transport.
But like I said, maybe
 
OH MY GOD I SERIOUSLY LIVE 15 MINUTES AWAY, but i aint got no money just bought a new tank.
 
Shipping would be around 400, so just let me know if its still available
