Yeah the $2/gal sale was at AA (and only for that one week I think). But yeah, your limited in size there. I would have happily went 210, or 220 vs my 240, but if your wanting 300+ thats a different story. There is a pretty big price jump between 220 and 265 too, like double I thought. In my house it was very difficult to deal with the 8 foot tank (both moving it and also finding a wall large enough to put it lol) I'd prefer a 6 or 7 foot tank thats taller & deeper as opposed to longer, but thats just me.
On a side note, the normal price at jacks for a 220G is more expensive than GC but if you want it drilled with twin overflows the price is actually the same/cheaper last I worked the numbers out. Seems like GC charges a lot more for the overflows... but they are built well... my overflows are 1/2" glass and the base is doubled up around the overflows (1"). I wish they would have put them all the way to the corners though, instead there is like a 6" gap of wasted space and less room in the 'middle' now. Would use less materials too since the overflow would not need a side wall since it would be up against the side. I was much to hasty when I ordered, I had just decided to get a big tank and noticed that in a week they would be in Columbus and that was it for the years schedule. Well apparently they are in Columbus like once a month nearly, they just dont put it in the schedule in advance.
