Ok hear goes i live in connecticut and i was wondering of a place where u can get cheap aquariums from. Craigslist up here really is not working people have there tanks over priced. I was thinking of glasscages. But from what i have read on mfk. They are really not that relaible or have good quaility i could be wrong but that is what i am reading. I am not looking for a monster tank. what i really what is a 75 gal long or a 90 gal. Is there anyplace besides glasscages that could help me out. Thanks in advance
 
Try putting a wanted add on craigslist. Check out your local newspaper. Go to all your LFS and have them price out the tank you want...
 
Try a local fish auction my local aquarium club has one twice a year.
 
I recently bought a tank from glasscages, looks extremely well built like a german tank but the stand I was not happy with in the long run, put a whole lumber yard inside it to make it strong to last a VERY long time even with water splashes.
 
How cheap is cheap for you?

$1/gal is sort of standard, but it also goes along with supply and demand.

Post what you want and what you want to buy. There was a guy in NY that was having a completely insane deal on tanks...and he was posting here stuff that was WAAAYYY cheap. I would have jumped on it but no more denero with xmas.

I got tanks to sell but there were a lot out there so I'm waiting a few weeks for it do die down. A 40gal breeder (lizards), 45 mirror rear, and 55gal complete.

CL toward Boston always has em cheap.
