Default FS/ custom 8 foot tank

Selling a only 1 year old 8 foot fishtank. This thing is huge and build like a tank. This aquarium is build to last. It is a custom fishtank build out of wood with epoxy resin/paint and a glass front piece half inch thick, supported with 2 steel center braces. It is a great buy for anyone who looks for an affordable big tank. It is used as a saltwater tank with a side overflow but can be used for a freshwater aquarium as well. Perfect for big fish as well. I paid $1600 to build this but will let it go for $400.
Outside dimensions are 24 wide, 24 high and 96 long. Pm with email address for pics.

Ps: tank ONLY. No fish, live rock, lights, or stand. No delivery but I will help move it in your truck. Pickup in walnut grove.

It's a real nice tank and seems to be very well built, I've seen it in person.

The colour is grey with a sanded finish to give it a natural stone look.

Those are blue led floodlights. Looks wicked at night. The corals look amazing under those.

Because the low amount of responses I was left with a $200 offer. Unfortunately it wasn't worth it for me to get 6 guys together and move the tank down 2 sets of stairs and putting our backs out. It would have cost me $100 on beer to pay the guys for this back breaking job. Lol. So the tank was cut into pieces and is now at the dump. Thanks to all who replied. Odd there weren't any offers on a tank this size. Oh well.

Unfortunately, everyone wants it for next to nothing including delivery.

When I sold my 120g I ended providing some rubber maids for them to transport the live rock, sand and corals.
