I just bought a 70 gallon aquarium. It is an acrylic aquarium, commercial grade (thickened acrylic like Tenecor's premium acrylic) with a built in wet/dry filter and refugium that I estimate is about 10 - 15 gallons so I guess it is kind of like an 80 - 85 gallon? The tank says "Aquatic Research Technologies" on the back. Here are some pics that the previous owner sent before I made the purchase. (sorry I do not have my camera on me)
Does anyone have experience with these types of tanks?
What is this thing worth?
Any suggestions on what to put in it? (e.g. SW, FOWLR, Dutch Aquascape, Cichlid Tank, etc...) I would like suggestions! Thanks.

WOW I would be careful I bet that thing took a lot of stress being on that stand, if you can call it that.

No doubt - the good thing was she just filled it up and put some of her pond fish in to show that held water. I started draining as soon as I got there :) Any idea what it's worth?

No clue but it does look as though it is quite scratched up which will detract from the price I am pretty sure.

I think those are reflections you are seeing (it was in a garage full of stuff)

HHHMMM that's not a scratch that runs from top to bottom on the left hand side? I really have no idea when it comes to the built in wet/dry filters and things but I am sure someone will come along that can give you an idea:)

That is a water stain (that would be an ugly scratch) but I made sure it wiped off before i bought it :)
I hope you're right, I would really like to know what this thing is worth...

Stopped by my LFS. The owner said it would be $900 - $1,000 new. In case anyone was wondering...
