where is the best place to buy 55 gals? i think it will be to hard to make a bunchi need six 55's and eight 100 gallons for a good price ideas?
 
Can we ask why you need so many tanks of those sizes?

Also look at ebay I was on there the other day and they had I think 8 40 breeders for like 300. But they were in ohio so doesn't help you to much. But I still would look at ebay and craigs list. You might find some good deals here also in the buy sell board. But you'll be hard pressed finding alot of tanks this size in one place for sale for a good price.
 
Go to your LFS and talk with the owner, they can and usually will get them for you at cost, as long as you have a good relationship with them and buy stock from them from time to time. My LFS gives me almost everything at cost, or 10% over their cost depending on the item.

That must be a local owned place b/c when I bought a 125 and a 54 corner tank about 3 months ago I asked the dude who runs it if he would cut me a deal for buying both (about $700) b/c he does know me pretty good and it wasn't the first 125 I bought from him either. and he told me he would love to cut me a deal but b/c it was a corrperate owned store he couldn't dictate price.
 
He told me that the only thing that he could change the price on was fish and they just had to be price matched with another local store

sorry havnt been on in a while, my friends are getting rid of there fish (larger cichlids/flowerhorn, and want to build a fish room.

yea my LFS has them at a price thats ok but still more than i would pay going to glasscages.com on 55's.
