Anyone bought one of these Aquatic Eco Fiberglass Tanks? Better than Plywood?

Nice concept but the price seems a little steep for what your getting. I took a quick look on the internet and you could buy an all glass aquarium for less.

I just received the A-160G. It's listed as a 336 gal. Markings on the tank (and going off my flow meter) put the capacity over 400 gals (Tank marking says 405/meter says 403.2). Overall, it's a nice heavy, strongly-built hatchery tank with a nice size front glass window.

I don't have one, but I know a guy that uses them as holding tanks. They're nice.

I love the idea of these tanks, but do you think they can be painted black on the inside? I'm just not a fan of a big blue tank.

"Sweetwater" Epoxy paint would work well. Comes in dark and light gray, dark and light green, black, white, and of course dark and light blue. $50 to $60 a gallon. Not exactly cheap, but tough and fish safe. Also from Aquatic Eco-Systems.
