I'm turning 40 next year, and my biggest tank? 75 gallons.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!


Living on the east coast, northern mind you, is like living in the wasteland of the big aquarium world.

If I even dare look at a tank above 100 gallons, the price jumps way over the 400 dollar mark.

My wish, simple, to own a 300 gallon tank and a largemouth bass. The reality smacks we daily like my 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Wilson.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Please, someone say "me too..." as misery loves company.
 
50 gallon with stand, no lights or filtrations 400$
75 gallon, looking at nearly 1000$
current exchange, rates, about 900$ USD for a 75 and 380$ for a 50...

i feel your pain.
also, the title, i know that song, but what is it? rock i know lols
 
smashing pumpkins - bullet with butterfly wings. Good song.

I'm 23 and just getting into the aquarist hobby. All I would have been able to do is a 20 gallon, but my sister-in-law hooked us up with a 65gallon for free, so I got lucky there.

Now even if I do get the raise/salary I'm looking at and can afford another large tank (I just want a 55 to keep my bichirs alone in) I'd have nowhere to put it, as I live in an apartment and all our space is taken:\

Not quite the SAME problem, but I still can't afford anything and WISH I could do something like 125gallon at least:\
 
:) thanks mate.
my uncle loves them, and i keep forgetting to ask band name.

and yeah seriously, tank prices and fish prices, 4.5$ USD for a convict cichlid about 1-2 cm long... absolutely horrible.
 
i feel your pain, prices on anything over 55g can get absolutely ridiculous in New England. I keep looking though, one day....one day :headbang2
 
I feel your pain man. And I know you cringe like I do when you step into the classifieds on here and see all those sweet deals in SoCal. I wish I could filter SoCal listings out so I would not see all the deals I am missing.

I do have a 125 though which is as big as I can go for now unless I want to be divorced.

I know what you mean. I'm not near 40 years old but its the same here. If you can even find a tank around here over 100gal it is over $400. I can find 75 gals for $100 so i dont understand why it is so expensive. The only hope would probably be to make a plywood or find a place to make a custom but then again that would be expensive.
