Back in the hobby after being out for several years. Where would one buy a new 75g tank & stand and have it delivered? I'm in NYC and have no means of picking up a tank that size. I used to get most of my new tanks delivered from Petland Discounts, but they are no longer around. The other aquarium shops I used to use seem to be closed as well. Petco doesn't deliver... What am I to do? :p

Thanks, Charney. Your name sounds familiar - I think we may have traded fish at one point many years ago. Some large black barred silver dollars maybe?

I'm on the upper east side of Manhattan.

Good memory. You came to Hoboken and took i think three pretty large large bar silver dollars.
Let me reach out to a buddy and get back to you

my buddy didnt know of any places. Can you buy the tank and hire someone to move it? I typically hire some one of craigs list to pickup and deliver large tanks for me

Thanks for checking. I may have to hire somebody. Do you have any trusted sources on CL? Seems a little risky to go that route, but all the "real" mover guys want $200 or more for the job, which is insane.
