Is this a great thing, or what?

I just found a used aquarium! Get this... it is 4 feet long, 3 feet tall and 2 feet front to back! What would this be good for? Imagine the possibilities! It has at least 3/8" thick glass, and the supports that run across the top leave two openings that are about 12" wide. does that leave enough room to provide for pumps, filters, etc. , that are necessary for proper water care hardware? This is the first tank I have seen with these dimensions. Unknown brand, but it calculates out to be a 175 gallon. Needs a healthy bit of cleaning, just hard water stains, mostly, but this looks like a doozey of a tank. It comes with a low stand/cabinet, but I would probably build my own for it. It has no lights or other accessories, and they want $300.00 for it. Should I go for it? All comments welcomed! Thanks, Doug.

I would have bought it by now if I were you. The only problem I can see with those dimentions will be lighting. Even MH only penetrates about two feet deep. The bottom will be a little dark. But if your using it as a reef,just stack the rock,and put low light corals on the bottom.It would be fine for a FO tank.

wow... did you know I paid $275 for my 75 gal tank & stand? It came with filters, rocks, fishes and light though... Still, I think you got a great deal.
