Retro Tanks

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Didn't get much love on this thread but I'm a sucker for an antique fish tank...

Just picked up a 75 gal MetaFrame this morning for FREE off of CL. It needs a good cleaning but the metal and slate are in great condition!!!

I had a five foot 100 gallon metal frame tank until I let my brother and his soon to be ex-wife watch it for me one summer :(
 
No bubble fronts, tube tanks or coffee table tanks from the 80s warren.

If I had enough space in the fish room for a coffee table... There would definitely be one
😁

The largest MetaFrame tank I've personally seen was a standard 125 gal. Wasn't holding water and was in pretty poor condition. Thing must've weighed a ton!!

Stumbled across this gem. Can you imagine what this would look like restored?00S0S_gx3DrEkM0r7_600x450.jpg

It was posted a couple days ago on NH craigslist. IIRC price wasnt too bad on it but it would take some serious work to clean up.
