Alright guys i'm buying a used 500 gallon Bowfront:headbang2and was hopeing someone on here who has one could post a pic. the pics the guy sent me of the tank aren't very good, and i won't be able to go and look at the tank until this wknd, but i'm Fn pumped to see what its gonna look like. The dimensions are 96" Long, 30" on ends,36" in the middle, and 36" tall ( 500 gallons?) anyway if anyone has a tank like this PLEASE post a pic! my cichla are in a 180 right now so they're gonna dig havin 500 gallons to move around in! Here are the only pics the guy sent.

I know man!, i'm trippin right now...it was a showroom display tank for ADG.I've been on the hunt forever for a tank like this!
 
That is a sweet tank, it converts out closer to 400 but It has good dimensions and ive never heard of a bowfront that large, pretty awesome
 
awesome find. hope it works out for you. hope its as big as he says it is as well. i went to pick up a 45 gallon the other day that ended up being a 25 hex front.

as for moving it id suggest a box truck (tailgate lift would be a lot easier) like a u haul if possible but if not a truck should do. time to find out who your real friends are to because your gonna need at least 5 strong people to move that if its glass. id shoot for 10 to be safe. good luck!

How do you figure that?

If ya don't consider the "bow" it's 96x30x36" which is 450g.
