I saw this tank online today. If it was a little nicer it would be neat to do some kind of modern concept tank in the house somewhere but because it's beat to crap I thought I'd throw it out and see if anyone here had any neat ideas on what it could be used for behind the scenes in a fish room perhaps?

Mangrove garden, although the metal frame would put me off.

You don't think it's too deep for a mangrove garden?

That would be a perfect algae scrabber for a large system.

Lighting would be difficult so I say NPS tank lit with some snazzy blue LEDs!

Fresh water top off tank. I have two similiar shape but only 6"wide and not as long. They fit in my stand right next to my sump.

+1 since it is framed in metal I wouldn't put salt water any where near that thing, the only use for that would be a freah water top off or an ant farm lol

It would honestly be really neat to have a tank like that behind your couch or something but this particular one is too beat up.
