Where do you guys go to buy tanks or equipment? I used to buy most of everything on bigals but they no longer sell in the us.

I am in need of buying multiple large tanks and equipment that goes with it. Any recommendations for cheaper tanks and equipment would be great
 
I have gone to Craigs list in the US, and Encuentra 24 in Panama, for tanks, and most unmechanicals.
So far in Panama I picked up Two 180 gal tanks, and a 125 for about a quarter of store costs.
I do DIY sumps as filters, with hardware store PVC plumbing
but buy pumps, and bulkheads, new on line.
 
You can usually find tanks up to roughly 125g on CL for somewhere in the neighborhood of a buck a gallon. More if there's a bunch more that goes w/ it.
 
multiple 125's as they are a good price
vivosun air pumps, they are cheap as well
a pond canister split between all your tanks would work well, and they are often the same price as a fx6 with much more GPH
