How to sell 800 gallon Aquarium?

[Acrylic Tank]

Hi, I'm new to this forum and joined as I'm looking for some help/direction.


I worked with a company in California several years ago to design and build this 16-foot-long, 750-gallon acrylic aquarium. It is made with 1.25-inch-thick acrylic walls, and measures 180 inches in length, 36 inches in width, and 30 inches in height. The tank is seamless and has an impressive view on all four sides without any supports in the middle of the panoramic view.

We built a premium wooden base which is outfitted with eight steel rolling casters. I need to move the tank out of my shop and am looking for a good home. It's a difficult item to sell (i.e. on-line Kijiji, FB Market place). This is a unique item and one for a very specific buyer.

Thought i would join this forum to seek out any advice or contacts that might be available. It's a real beauty - someone is going to enjoy it very much. Need to find that someone. I'm looking for $7k.

Any help, suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!

No, it was not used as an aquarium, it was used to study products in water by a tech company. There are no holes in the tank.

Installing overflow(s) and drilling the tank for the bulkheads should not be an issue. Not sure which shops there would do this, but here any glass shop could do it if I brought the tank to their shop.

I would however be concerned about the lack of any bracing at the top which every acrylic tank needs if you will be running it full of water or else you will have bowing. I had a 100gal sump built for me one time which didn't have any bracing at the top. Sure enough it bowed out pretty good. I clamped it, installed a couple of braces on the top and then all was good.
