    Looking to upgrade to a bigger tank. But they are pretty expensive. I know petco has sales on there aquariums. $1 per gallon, but I don't know if the go up to 90 or 75 gal.
    Any one know where i could get a cheap one?
    Thanks

    craigslist would be my best guess
    i know in my area a lot of people do 1$ per gallon
    but if you are going to do craigslist be safe.

    I think the dollar per gallon sale at Petco is only for 55 gallon or smaller.

    I would check Craigslist.

    I think most petco's have begun to limit their $1 per gallon sale to 40 gallon tanks max.

    Yeah Petco sales go up to 55's. Some only go up to 40's. Craigslist is the first place I'd go to. Or if you are a DIY'er you can make yourself a tank by going to Homedepot or similar and getting the panels cut for you.
