    Hello All
    Can you recommend any good places to order aquariums ?

    I am looking for a 90g 48x18x24 for my Cichlids and a 180-220 for a new reef setup.


    Thanks

    I know that Petco is having a sale on their tanks as of now!! I don't know how large a tank they carry but it is worth checking into as they are , I believe, $1.00 a gallon!!!!

    Thanks, Looked at Petco, PetSmart, SeaWorld, Walmart, and a local FS.
    Closest was a 120 that was just too wide for where it needs to go.

    I was thinking of mail order, anyone use any that were good ?

    \Cheers

    Getting from local large retailer will save a fortune in shipping costs. -- if they don't have the size you want, they usually will order for you.

    Shopping/researching for new tank is fun.

    I saw a new 215 Oceanic at LFS yesterday going out to some customer (w/starfire glass on front) --- looked awesome.

    Go to Petco while they still may have the tank your are looking for. Their sale is only on what they have instock. The sale is on all 10- 55gal tanks!

    Man, look on ebay. Just refine your search to a 50 mile radius and you would be suprised what good deals you find. There is always someone out there that rushed into a tank set up and are fed up with the problems they are having after a year and they sell it all...cheap!
