My glass 300 weighs approximately 650 pounds. An acrylic 300 can be carried by two people.

Damn thats some serious weight, makes it a lot harder to move it if necessary or go up or down stairs
 
the glasscages 300G is 6" wider (30") and is over $300 more :X. I wish I could go with the 300 but budget permits I can only get a 240. I'm really only getting this tank because I want my arowana back lol. and yes I know the 30" wide tank would be better but ah well for now, at least he's gonna have 8ft to swim in.
 
Does anyone have any more advice on good places to buy tanks?

Are you going to find anywhere cheaper than glasscages.com?

If buying new and you are in their delivery area their prices are hard to beat. You could always do an internet search for tank manufacturers and start calling them up for prices.

I completely understand where you are coming from but if there is anyway you can swing the 300 that extra 6" depth really makes a difference in the tank. With that said, a 240 isn't too shabby. :D

I'm also looking at upgrading in size. In Central NY there isnt much activity on craigslist for tanks 200 gallons or bigger. So I'm starting to think it might just be a lot easier to buy new. Acrylic is probably the way to go on these big tanks isnt it? Mainly just based on weight. Are glass tanks generally cheaper than acrylic ones?

Isn't tenecor really expensive? Roughly how much would a 300 gallon acrylic tank cost from tenecor?
