A tank like that would hold a massive weight so i hope its going in the cellar 28 cubic feet of water is a hell of alot! I would brace a tank of that size with a wooden frame.

Good stuff,
was going to say, thats a beast of a tank. I used to have a 6x2x3 and that was huge in the front room but looked impresive.

Build it yourself
Go to the glass cutting people get reinforced glass at the size you want, get some aqaurium sealant seal it all together, make the frame around it then do what you want
It would cost a mear fraction of the cost to buy

Welcome to Swallow Aquatics

if he wants to come down and get it, i have a 6x2x3 that we used to keep koi in.. also have all the ehiem filters we used to keep up with the massive amounts of crap they produce.. we paid about 250 for it when we got it, i could work out a price for it if he wants to know.. it would be collection from near ringwood though. and you will need 4-6 strong people to shift the bugger.

koi grow fast indoors in warm water.. really fast
