I don't know if your interested but there is a good deal on a 1200 gallon tank on ebay right now haha it measures 10x4x4. If i didn't already have mine I would have seriously considered it. It would make a nice home for that eel of yours :D

While that is a very decent deal, I am actually looking for something with a big more size than that for the next one. At least 2k, and i am thinking of concrete with viewing window. Hopefully to be less than half that price. We will see how that works out though.
 
Canuck, try Dolphin fibreglass in Florida - they have some killer deals on BIG setups. For what they are, they're CHEAP. I picked up a used 38,000 gallon tank for $17K with 4 4'x8' windows - I have no idea where to put it (it's in storage right now) - but at that price, I wasn't passing it up.

38,000 gallons isnt at little tank by any means. You dont want to use it? Do you remember the measurements?

This. ^^^

Big tanks are cheaper when you get away from acrylic/glass. Even block tanks tend to be limiting and a pain to keep clean on the inner walls. Fiberglass with a nice big acrylic window are so much nicer to deal with.

Oh, I'm going to use it - I just physically don't have a place for it yet. I have a pad graded, but not filled yet - sort of a huge clusterfrack between the county and the engineers. Turns out 300,000 lbs of water is... um... heavy. And the city disagrees with the engineering report on the slab thickness and the drainage, etc.

It is roughly 32x16x10.
