That would make a nice tank. The aro will outgrow it with time, but the tank should last 1 - 2 years. If you power-feed it closer to a year.

Arowanas are great, don't pass up the opportunity to get the tank, or own one of the best fish out there!

Well what I would do is take the tank and start growing out your aro in it, then move him to a temporary pond (rubbermaid). Take apart the tank and use the glass for the front of a 6'x4'x2' plywood tank. Which will give you enough room to house him for life at a decent price.

I would just take the tank, fill it use it for other fish for right now. Once you get a solid plan for how you are going to acquire your final tank then plan for about 1 - 1.5 years before that fish isn't going to fit any longer.
