hardy har har smart arses! :P I was wondering more what they would have been used for! They're an odd shape, and was thinking the sloping floor would be great for an aquaponic tank, all that lovely crud will find its way to the bottom!

The bottom looks rounded, maybe you could mount a rotating disk or drum biofilter in them.

Yeah one of them has holes, the other is... unholy? They're quite big, about 700mm deep and 1000mm square. So I would guess about 600lt... so I suppose not that big, but might be good for a sump for my system extension. I want to add fingerling raising tank/sump for when I have babies! ;)
