They are old, neat looking, functional, and just downright cool. I generally only pay $0.50/gal for used tanks, but that tank I'd go as high as $1.50/gal, probably around $20.
just curious, why is such a tank more desirable as a terrarium?Would make a nice terrarium. You might check ebay on completed items.
These old steel framed tanks are need. I have acquired a 10Gal through the club but the general auction had several 40's. The value is that these tanks are built to last (many from way back when are still going strong). If a pane breaks you just cut it out and put in a new one. To make the tank safe and water proof you just have to reseal with a modern silicone (hidden by the brace). You might argue that a brand new 10g runs ~$10 but there is a cool factor in these tanks.why do people still value such tanks?
gosh, I'd love that size. makes a cool windowsill terrarium.These old steel framed tanks are neat.. I saw one with a 20"X6" footprint!
