Paid $100 for the tank as is...
Also have to remove blue paint from the back that's on there pretty
tough, what is best to remove paint and is still safe for fish? It
won't easily just scrape off. 
I've had good luck with a heat gun on glass if you move quickly.
Failing that, there were a number of different citrus oil based paint
strippers available at home depot when I was doing some painting last
year. You'd have to wash the tank throughly afterwards, but you
planned on doing that anyway, right?
I'd try scrape it with a proper paint scraper or even a razor blade.
Or heck leave it there
I always did like the backs of me tanks painted.
congrats on the big tank!
remember my first 6 footer, I set it up at the base of me bed so I could
watch me fishys as I fell asleep.
