On of the local lfs just went out of business and we bought their 390 gallon tank with stand, hood, and a pump, and 50 lbs of live rock for $900. It is amazing, it is 7 ft long , 3 feet high and 30 inches wide.
Also if anyone lives in or around pittsburgh, the store that closed was posideons in greentree, they have about 1000lb of rock left and are selling it for about $2.50 a lb. And it looks really good
We just set it up the other day we are going to redo the stand in pieces of oak and put doors on it and we will refinish the hood, The person in the pic is my friend just for height comparison

WOW! What a great buy. I'll bet your eyes are huge at this point. What are you going to stock the tank with?

That is awsome. Good luck can't wait to see more pics. Oh by the way is it glass or acrylic?

as of now we transferred the contents of the 125 to this tank
and we just added a 5 inch blue angel, we are also looking to add a port jackson or bamboo shark
the tank is glass, and it weighed about 700 lbs

how on earth did you maneuver a 700 lb tank into your house?
i was looking at a 350 gallon acrylic tank, but it is half the weight of that, and i was dubious about how my girlfriend and i would even get it out of the back of the pickup!
