How about an 800 gallon acrylic tank?

So could this be set up as a peninsula tank with viewing from 3 sides? Some pics show 3 sides for viewing, but then it appears the back 8' section was painted black for your specific setup. Also what would be included? I asked my wife and she is actually considering it as she knows I want a bigger tank for my next house. Would it be ok sitting in my garage for a few years or would the heat and cold warp it?

It could be a peninsula, but there is a notch in one of the two "front" corners, so it would be a little weird. The back 8' section comes with two (thin) acrylic black pieces that can be placed against it to cover it, but they are optional.

The tank should not sit in a freeze-refreeze environment for an extended period. Heat is okay.

Cool, thanks. I think I will have to hold off then even though this is a smokin deal. I would hate to spend that much money and have it warp or something after sitting in my garge for an extended amount of time.

Yes, that seems prudent. I actually kept it in my garage for a few months in winter, but I wrapped it in insulation and put a small space heater in the middle. That kept the temperature toasty and 60F as long as electricity was available.
