I am looking for a 100 gallon tank. I want the stand and filters(dont care for the rocks). Any have a good estimate it will cost me. I want a used one. And craigslist.com is over priced so if you know wht it shld cost about plz tell me.
I bought my 100 for 400 without a stand but i was getting desperate for a big tank to move my fish into.That and most aquarium stuff costs more in canada
I recently saw a 125 gal w/ stand, glass tops & basic lights for $500 brand new...
A couple years ago I bought a 120 w/ stand, glass tops & lights for $300 used... I recently sold it for the same price...
I've foud for used tanks...
Smaller tanks generally go for $1 per gallon... larger tanks generally go for a little more...
Stands usually sell for about the same as the tank...
I put little value on used equipment as more often than not used equipment I've gotten has been damaged or excessively worn or otherwise problematic... lights not included...
PS - While Craigslist is a good place to search for used tanks, you may also want to see abotu a local fish club. There are several in Ohio.
Don't forget your local newspaper. I have bought 2 tanks from hobbyist who were truly desperate for money. One was a college student who was in need of money to buy his books. The other guy had just gone through a divorce and was in a financial rut. They both ran ads in the newspaper and i got great deals.
news papers are where the a lot of the amazing deals are... also check out yardsales and estate sales.. even the monthly storage center auctions can have amazing finds from time to time..
