    You can always turn it into a mudskipper tank. fill it halfway with a beach on the one side and still have fish in the water

    I wasn't too harsh in this thread... It was the other one that pissed me off. I apologize for coming across that way, but seriously dude... You cannot go and knock someones price if they are selling something of quality.

    I can almost guarantee that you will run into problems down the line with a 6mm 1.5m tank dude... That glass is just not tough enough to be able to withstand any bumps or knocks. It will crack and you will have a flooded house. The safety factor is just too small. This is why bigger tanks cost more. It's the safety of thicker glass. It's a fact. I wish glass was stronger, but it isn't.

    I seriously hope that you can reinforce it, but I don't know how that would be possible, especially with the tank already full. If you want to rebuild it, that would be my recommendation. Do it with 10mm glass. It's important, not only to the well being of your fish, but also for your house. That's a lot of water, close to 500 liters. You really don't want 500L in your lounge/dining room/ bedrooms, etc. Trust me. I overflowed my RO bucket with about 20L and it's a lot to clean up. Thank goodness, It was in the kitchen, and not on any carpets.

    I hope you take this advice as constructive criticism, I don't mean to be a bastard, but I tell the truth.

    Anyhoo... This is a good price for a cabinet tank this size!!

    price drop R2400

    To be honest ,this is a very good deal
    The tank only had water in for about 3-4 months.

    The glass is like new.

    This an urgent sale hence the price drop
