Just bought a new 4x3x2.5 840L glass tank from my lfs. It was a coral display tank for ages. Barely a scratch on it, all lids, and sump, I got it for a bargain, only $250.

I plan on putting my pair of jaguar cichlids in there, cause they have outgrown their current 4x2x2 and I didn't really want a 6ft i wanted something unique, so when I heard they were selling it I bought it straight away.

Currently waiting for them to rip it out of the wall so I can pick it up, going to be very heavy as the glass is 12mm on the sides and a 15mm base.

I need to make a stand, modify the sump to a moving bed filter originally itwas made for a protein skimmer setup so it shouldn't be too hard, sump is a 150L glass tank. Gonna run a 3000L/h return pump.

I'll update as things progress.
Here's the tank at the shop right now, full of filters and other things

Update
I've built the stand and picked up the tank, it was friggen heavy, and installed it. Now all that needs to be done is to finish modifying the sump
 
Good purchase.

Update
Sump has been modified for k1 setup, 10L of k1 arrived today in the male, along with my air hose and air pump
Still waiting for the silicon to cure before I start the cycle, gonna put another 8L of k1 from my old 200L sump into the new sump so I don't have to wait for the new media to cycle, jags are getting impatient and want to move in already lol
