Go big or go home! Lol! Seriously though it's a great deal I'd jump on it before some one else does. 300 gallons and it's acrylic is pretty sweet for that price.
300 gallon deal or no deal ?

I saw that tank on craigslist. you have to be carefull because he mentioned that the tank it bowing in the front and the back. This could mean the tank was put together poorly and it could crack or break.

All Acrylic tanks bow a little, that's the nature of the material. If it's 30" deep then 3/4" acrylic is correct if it's deeper than 30" then 1" thick acrylic is correct. I'm taking into account this is a 300 and there's only a few normally accepted dimensional possibilities? If it's a weird shaped tank then throw this advice out the window
If the guy built it himself and used 1/2" acrylic for 300 gallons then I would be skeptical.
Most 300's are 24" tall, I know mine is. 1/2" acryllic is just fine for ANY size tank 24" tallEgon;3967548; said:All Acrylic tanks bow a little, that's the nature of the material.

I just bought my 300 gallon tank with a nice stand and canopy with a built in background for 1k. You are getting a great deal
