Well, if he sets up a business account with a pet supply distributor, the cheapest way would be to order all the tanks and supplies from his distributor at wholesale prices.

If you were to buy a full pallet of a certain size tank from your distributor, I would think they would give you a decent discount as well.


Ya i havent thought that since i was looking for some tank suppliers atm so could contact pet shops for there distributors. Thanks
 
Pet shops might be protective about information related to their distributors, especially if they understand that you want to start a business. I have never asked though

ok, thanks

On other note anyone know any other good whole sale distributors for gravel,salt water fish,plants, deco,food, etc?
 
Who knows, they might tell you. All you can do is try. The worst the pet shop can do is tell you that they don't share that information.
 
Lol. I know of three pet shops that have changed ownership in my area. One store, I think, has had 3+ different owners. At least four shops, that were near me, went of of business completely.
