Is this a steal or what?

The seller is asking $100 for all 4 tanks! Most likely acrylic, without accessories. I asked about dimensions and am awaiting reply :)

Holy crap, definitely looks acrylic and look at the thickness of the stuff they used, that must have cost a lot brand new. Are you purchasing that JP if the dimensions check out.

I think thats the bottom, if you lookat picture 3 the 2 big ones have 2 holes drilled one of the thinner ones has 1 hole drilled and I cant see on the other one but it might be at the other end. I reckon the biggest is at least 30" wide then 2ft wide, 18" and a 12" one. They've got to be pushing 12ft long. Wonder what they were used for with all those dividers, a holding tank of some sort?
