I know the odds are pretty low that any of you are cruising this thread just looking for a giant custom tank, but I figure I'll post anyway and the conversation will be fun. 
A few years ago I ran a large reef tank in my home. Since then, I have moved back and forth to California for work and no longer keep the tank running. We are planning to move permanently in the coming year, and I will be decommissioning the whole system since it is likely the buyer of our home will not be interested in a full-time job maintaining a giant reef. Hehe.
The tank is 1-inch thick, 8 feet long, 5 feet the other way, and about 30 inches tall. It is acrylic through and through, with one sheet of black on one of the short ends. The other short end has a 5x5-inch "notch" in it made to accommodate a corner member that ran from floor to ceiling. (Imagine the tank with two viewing panes, at 90 degrees to each other, into the room.)
Rough volume is 800 gallons. The black end has a coast-to-coast overflow and three 2-inch drains. The top panel is also one-inch acrylic and has three large cutouts (and therefore two cross members that span the 5-foot dimension). The cross members are strong enough to sit, stand, or jump on.
The tank was built by James at Envision, one of the best builders on the planet. New it costed a little over $6,000. It is in very good shape with no significant scratches nor any issues.
I would like to get $3,000 for this tank. Transportation and delivery logistics are an open question, but I'm flexible, and we can surely work something out.
I know this will be sold in a matter of minutes, so I'll just be standing by hitting reload here on this post.
