    Thanks! It weighed a lot! It took my husband and three of his friends to move it.

    Looks great that Purple Tang is amazing and at 8" that is a massive one! Good pick up! If you don't mind how much was this tank?

    Forgot to add it's a custom built tank. Also, we were wrong on the size it's actually 260 gal!!

    NICE! What do you mean by custom? Do you have any idea on what you are going to do equipment wise or did it all come with it?

    The dimensions of the tank are not the usual 260 gal dimensions. I believe the difference is it's 3 feet wide rather than two, and 7 feet long rather than 8? I'll have to measure to make sure. Not sure yet? Actually going to lunch with my husband to discuss what our next movie will be. Can't wait to get started on it later this evening!
