Re: Used £14,000 aquarium, tank and stand only...
At first I was thinking, "what a steal!," meaning, "I'm only getting that if I steal it." Then I saw the water stain on the ground and realized, "well, so it has a leak... And when you factor in the hard water stains, that seems like it deserves a £13,850 price reduction for defective product."
On a sincere note, it would be an honor to have and display a functioning aquarium of this vintage. Either one like this, or one of the hexagonal/octagonal pedestal aquaria (of which I'm more partial than the rectangular tanks; just a personal preference). But not at this price.

I think it's ugly - I would not want it for € 14
cats have whiskers

Maybe, I wonder what fish it has seen though...

Re: Used £14,000 aquarium, tank and stand only...

Either this, or a tank like the one shown in the OP above (but restored), would make a wonderful middle-of-the-room / view-from-all-sides, centerpiece in an ornate home décor.
As they say, à chacun son goût. Nobody else needs to like it, just the person who owns it and displays it.
Cheers, Eric

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder..... and I'm with Jools on this one. Makes me wonder what fish have been in it.
