Can I use Lobster restaurant tank for monster fish???

[Balake2424]

So a restaurant near me is selling this 400 gallon lobster tank I was wondering if there is a difference in this tank from you’re regular normal tanks? Do you think I could use it for monster fish without having any problems with the tank itself

Absolutely. Long as it holds water.

 

[kno4te]

Yes.

I may be a skeptic or the picture might just be fooling me, but that tank doesnt appear to be 400 gallons, more like 150-200. Looks like a 48"x24"x30" 150 gallon imo.

It can be used.
What are its dimensions? That should help you determine gallonage.
For lobsters, restaurants usually use chillers, just don't hook that up or plug it in for your tropicals.

I would definitely ask for dimensions as like he said above it looks a bit small. I can see it being a 150. We have a tank calculator on the site if you didn't know, it is in the following link.

My local bass pro has a palomino trout stream that you can feed. Its $0.25 to get a handful of pellets for them. It was raining so I picked up some worms and secretly hand fed them though ? that was a lot of fun
