would you get a 1600 gallon tank for free?

Plexiglass, 4" thick??? Are you serious? Even a tank this big doesn't need this type of reinforcement. Can you even see thru it?

Well, you could make one of those dunking booths out of it

Mount it on a trailer so you could transport it around to kid parties.

As far as that tank, if you wanted to cut it down. that would make sense. A 7 foot tall tank would be a nightmare. For 1700gal'ish, I much rather have a 12ft x 5ft x 4 ft tank. But you can't beat a free tank, err, near free

I'm not exactly sure where the tank ranks for volume. I believe it's second at 2,600,000 gallons. The Okinawa whale shark tank in Japan is 1.9mil, and of course the Georgia whale shark tank is 6.1 mil. The large viewing panel does make it's look even more monsterous. Not that 2.6 million gallons isn't alone...

IMO, it's a waste to cut down. That 4" thick is due to the 7' height and would just add unnecesary weight to it being cut down. Just my .02

I would only consider a tank like that if it came with a tank boy to care for it

$15 plus shipping and handling.

The possiblitys with that baby, you could keep 100 of everykind of tang in that bad boy.
I would totally get it. You can get it now and wait to set it up. You will still have the tank and you can wait till you get enough money to do it right. .02
