Large Aquariums

[Sicktrick89]

Im not really sure where to put this thread so hopefully the mods will help me out.

I know you can run down the walmart or petco and buy yourself a 55 gallon tank but Im wondering, where do you guys and girls purchase your large tanks? Im talking over 100 gallons upwards to 300 gallons.

Are there any good online distributors I should check out??


Thanks for the help

here on the Buy and Sell section....and also craigslist. You can also get brand new ones from (glass or acrylic) by just googling it and some websites will pop up. And of course you can always build your own.

A lot of Local Fish stores these days either have for sale or can order large aquariums. I know my few local stores do anyways. Otherwise, like stated above, google it. Craigslist, Ebay.

Craigslist generally I see 180g or under. Make sure to search multiple areas, I live in new york city and I search north NJ, NYC, and long island. Sometimes long island or north NJ is actually closer than a nyc location.

agreed. Also, the big chain stores don't carry those bigger tank but usually specialty fish stores will. glasscages.com will build you whatever you want, glass or acrylic.

Craigslist. Here in the Bay Area, some people are insane asking for $500 for a 55g, but if you're patient and look frequently, you can find good deals.
