For starters, it's in California, so now 80% of you that have clicked this thread will frown and swear at me.

Second, it's not mine. It was on Sacramento Craigslist. Here is the link and associated text. Good luck to whoever gets it. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/zip/593881347.html

Free large fish tank (aquarium) in East Sac by UCD Med Center.

The details on the tank:
- Over 300 gallons
- Triangle-shaped base (fits in a corner)
- Front of the tank is 1"(?) plexi sheet (4' wide x 7' tall)
- The other tank walls are heavy-duty metal mesh covered in fiberglass
- Realistic fiberglass rocks and cave background (all 7' tall) hide filters, etc.
- Plumbed surface over-flow filters (two 4") and mag drive pump return (through bottom of tank) hidden by caves
- filters are still filled with gallons on bio-balls.

This thing is solid like a shower stall, was filled continuously (with water and fish) for the past several years, and was recently drained (in December).

I had it framed into a wall and it looked awesome. Shop lights fit nicely on top (there might even still be one over it).

This needs to go on a slab floor.

I don't have pictures.

It will fit into the back of a pick-up and isn't too heavy empty (2 stout men with a dolly or 3-4 mortals).

Contact me to coordinate a pick up time. First to contact me and nail down a time to pick up, first takes.
 
there was a free 300 gallon tank here in FL not to long ago... it had a crack on the bottom glass but if you wanted to house like a big snake or something that would have been sweet

Wow...

Emailed him.... lets see if I get lucky... = )

i think i emailed him a little before you :raspberry

we'll see what happens, this sounds too good to be true!!!
 
If it wasn't cali, I would already have emailed him and called around for truck rentals.

Best of luck to the guys here that emailed him. Keep me in mind when you need to downsize bc I'll be in Sacramento in a week and a half. :-)
 
Ha I wish I would have seen this earlier! I searched craigslist early this morning and he posted it about 11am, an hour or so after i looked!!!!
