Ouch! I got my 9' second handed and only paid $50.00 for it. If I find another one that is 8' or 9' for a low second hand price, I will get it. You never can get enough of them. You might be able to get a second hand one from a local koi club. One club that I know of of in Florida went from using the poly tanks to using the ones like the pipe framed Intex pools.
