I was quoted $1300 for a 300+:headbang2 gallon tank that is 96 lenght 24 width and 31 inch height this is a acrylic tank that is from Truvu and has a black back wit no holes drilled in it.

Also if anyone knows a place in the san francisco area that has good deals on a 300+ gallon tanks please let me know i am looking to get this next month
 
I think that is too much.
 
The background was that famous blue....Back in 1992, my uncle purchased two TRUvu 300g tanks for a grand total of $1,600....After his wife's death, he sold the two for a mere$1,200 and left the hobby.....Everything could of been mine,but I had no room.....Anyway, the owner of the store was a family friend....Too bad he closed shop....I love plexi, but dam things scratch easily, that's why the majority of my arsenal is glass now...I believe an all-glass-San Francisco-300 would cost between $750-900....
 
Can you recommend a place cause all the places are trying to charge me in the 1000+ range and only offer me acrylic and they say that can't get a tank that big or they can only get acrylic.
 
for me it's reasonable. i have a 180 acrylic tank with overflow box and holes in it. it cost me almost 1000 usd. i again requested for a quote the same specs and they told me it's 1050 usd already. price is going up. just make sure you have the right thickness on the tank. don't be fooled on 3/8 or 1/2 inch thick. from what i read before... higher than 24" you need to use 3/4" and at a certain height you need to use 1" and so on. just make sure the thickness all around is the right one. one last thing is... the warantee on the tank. oh.. is this brand new or used? sorry.. didn't see any written on the thread.:D
 
I got a 300 acrylic for $350 (used)
