It only cost alittle over $1200 for it delivered to my house.

was that a good deal ?

15 55gallon
5 20gallon

55gallons are $100-130 new
20gallons are $40-50 new


so... yeah... good deal IMO

Don't mean to fart in your soup bowl but I don't think that's that great of a buy. I've purchased new tanks locally for less. Glass 60 gallons w/ glass lids run $59.00 and 20 gallons w/ lids run $24.00. For the quantity stated, it's just over a $1000.00.

Are these new tanks you're purchasing? Do they come with lights or strictly breeders w just lids?

Is this price all the time or for $1 a gallon sales?

What brand tanks do you buy? All Glass (Aqueon) 55's, and Perfecto (Marineland) 55's are over $100 wholesale. If its for "store use" you can get 40% off.

my lfs sell 55 for $60,and 20 for $25.......so...i say you pay too much

 

[itzamez]

well, in situations like these, you don't really go by your best deal. you go with a generalized price range for an item; not just an super amazing sale/store you have. Most likely, very few others have that convenience.

So. imo, i think you got one HECK of a deal, especially w/ shipping! grats '!
