I see tanks of all sizes on CraigsList....Some deals way better than others, but, they are there.

+1, there aren't many good "dealers." Its all the 'list or make em. Although, I did get lucky in Lowes, and scored a free 90 gallon.

You bought a 90 gallon at lowes?

 

[Duffey]

They don't sell tanks, haha. I guess I worded that wrong.

I was in Lowes, buying some PVC for a sump for my new 60 gallon, and this old guy walked up and asked if I was plumbing a house; told him no, an aquarium. He went off on a tangent, and eventually said "I have a tank about this big by this big you can have. I paid $15 for it at an auction, it's just taking up space come get it."

I thought it'd be like a 55 or so, but turns out to be a 90 gallon. Fo' free.

Good score......My mom taught me to never take candy from strangers, but, she said nothing about fish tanks.

House of tropicals in glenn burnie usuually has a good stock of tank... big ones too

 

[Duffey]

Exactly, so I figured it was pretty legit. It's an old one too, its all one piece with the stand so it was a PAIN to lift in and out of the truck.
