Keep the change...

Theyll write off the loss against tax. I would.

I'm not surprised it was so cheap. The shark's missing.

Have any of you worked out how many litres of water it'd take to fill it,or how much it'd weigh when full? I haven't by the way,i'd just like to know.🤔

I saw a tv program once where it was said that a square metre of earth weighs a ton!

It wouldn't if that square metre was only a nanometer thick.

Certainly a cubic metre of water at 20°C weighs a metric tonne. Earth probably isn't that far behind.

1.95 cubic metres or 1950 litres. So just under 2 tonnes.

Heck! That's one hell of a weight and purified water amount! It's been sold as a marine tank,so anyone actually wanting to keep salt water fish and other such stuff in there will have to pay loads to maintain their own little ocean!

Maybe the new owner wants it for keeping reptiles in?🤔

That makes real sense doesn't it, it's surplus to requirement and it's a pain to get it to the tip. The council want 30 notes to dispose of it for you.
Why not sell it for a pound, and someone will take it away.

Absolutely. They just want rid. Hence no reserve. But that would have cost serious money once upon a time. If you could get it up & running as a marine tank it could be a thing of rare beauty, but it would cost a fortune and take real expertise and a lot of hard work to maintain. Shame really. It'll end up as scrap.

I has a terrapin called Arnold in the mid 1970's. He was useless at swimming,but somehow one day he climbed out of his 2 foot high (three foot in length) fish tank,which had been converted to an outdoors vivarium and managed to make his way about 30 yards up the back street. To this day i do not know he managed that feat!!🤔

I compare that achievement to that of those who escaped Alcatraz,San Quentin and Colditz Castle!

Arnold, i salute you sir!!

Maybe that terrapin had a dream and wanted to join this gang

What an incredible room feature and talking point, especially if you fill it with Piranha.

Then invite the MiL around

A cubic metre of water's a tonne, Earth maybe twice that.
