And like everyone else said before, the cabinet was actually a very good buy. It is built to hold all that water weight, so if your dad gives you flack for it don't let it get to you. A new cabinet that holds a 4 foot fish tank costs about anywhere from 100 to 400 dollars if it is a wooden cabinet. The only ones less than $100 are made out of metal.
