Wow, I've never seen a tank this big. Just wanted to share. I'm not sure if this a reasonable price or not.

It's so long and skinny. I'd rather spend that money on a nice 120 or something. Would give lots of up and down swimming room.

2 feet wide is the same width as a 120 ;)

That's a pretty sweet tank, and I think that's a good price too! Man, I'd love to see that as a reef tank!

That's a rip for the price..

But cool tank. I agree it would look sweet as a reef tank.

Well, going off of glasscages.com's pricing, the price is about standard. However, since it's used, I'd say the seller should take at least 25% off of that. I'd still rather have a 260 gallon pond ...

Wow, really? Up here, a tank that size, used, would run around $2000-$2500 easily. I've seen 75-90 gallon tanks used (with stand) sell for $900.

^ Oh wow!! I bought my 75 for $140 I think? The optional stand was only $100more. So I could have had a tank with factory stand for $240. Granted AllGlass tanks are made here in WI.

I guess I'm spoiled because I live in California... Tanks go for dirt cheap here. perfect 55gallon on craigslist... $10.
