I purchased a 405 gallon 12/9/10. Crating charges were 75.00 Freight was $419.11. The tank was shipped from Apopka, Fl to CA.

I haven't put mine to use yet, but am pleased with how it looks. It's very sturdy.

If you know a good carpenter or are good with wood yourself then you could probably frame one in without too much difficulty and make it look extremely nice as well(that's very important since all my tanks are always in living spaces. Something like that would make for a great in-wall build.

They look really nice, I was thinking one of the huge ones would be really really nice.

It's down now since our relocation. I last used it as a grow-out tank for my asian tarpons.
