"Fish Tank" "Alien Cylinder from "Independance Day" Acrylic, Plastic,Tube

Hello I am selling my prized Alien enclosure from the film "Independance Day" used to hold one of the 3 aliens in the "Vault" or what some of us call the "Freak Show".. that being said it makes a great fish tank...water sculpture...stage prop for swimming girls, horror movie body storage...or whatever you can come up with... it is pre plumbed with a filler and drain, lights from the under side through a plexi floor and it is also fitted with an air connection for bubbling air through the water.. These acrylic cylinders alone were almost $11,000 thats before the aluminum Rocket bases were fabricated (these bases can be seen in the film "Star Trek" the latest one on the scene where Kirk and McKoy and Spock are on the loading docks about to depart for the first time.) lights , welding, connections..manpower ...etc.. I would estimate about $16,000+ dollars to build one of these.
The total height of the tank is  88 inches or 7.333 feet tall  from the floor to the top of the tank lip and the cylinders are   approx. 3/4 of an inch thick. and it is 24 inches wide.
Sorry for the poor pictures as I have had the tank stored in the warehouse for the past year where it is dusty.. ..There are scratches in the acylic from being used and stored..but they can be removed with some work...but it is more than worth it in savings . Acrylic polishes up to almost 10 % clearer than glass... or so I hear.... the bases are aluminum and can  be repainted any color you decor requires.  If you have any questions please let me know...this is listed for local pickup but I will build a crate if need be..(you are responsible for the cost of the wood and a nominal labor charge, you will also have to arrange for your favorite shipper..)(or just jump in a pickup and enjoy the warmer LA weather for a few days)
Thanks for looking
