Adding to the collection

I finally got what I consider a big tank. After looking for several years off and on I picked up a 5'x3'x27 250 gallon off CL. The tank needs a stand and some tlc. I may have overpaid a bit for it at $400 but t I really like the footprint. I now have more project tank gallons(925) than I have running(885). The boss (aka my wife) was not very happy, and I blew the money I had set aside for the glass and epoxy for my plywood, but I couldn't resist.

 

[ehh]

Any ideas on what's gonna go in it?

Nice looking tank, looks well worth the $400 paid.

Maybe an umbee, mota pair, or dovii growout(lost mine 2 weeks ago yesterday).

I really like the width, and $400 is about a $1 per pound. This sob is heavy! It holds water, but the inner seal is a little suspect.

Nice footprint.

Nice pickup. Looks like a marineland DD 250.

Since you have it empty I would strongly suggest redoing the internal seals to ensure longevity. Would cost much to do and would give you peace of mind.

Great dimensions!

It is, built in 08.

That is the plan, I wanted to fill it and let it sit for a bit just to make sure it does not need to be completely redone. I think someone got overzealous with some sort of cleaner at some point in the past. Some of the silicone has pulled away from the glass.
