or... the store bought the 150 as separate items... and the 220 as a set... like if i were to buy a 40 breeder with stand lights and lid it would cost me more than a 75 setup would...

idk here just thinking outloud..

only way to really know... is to go ask them why the price difference..

then they might raise the price of the 220 :p :grinno:
 
see, the same thing has been going on for awhile in big al's hamilton.

they have a 150 gallon on a mission stand that is more expensive than a perfecto 220 on a different type of stand.

I asked why and was told the difference was the mainly the stand (and the fact that Aqueon tanks ( aka all-glass) are more expensive than Perfecto tanks.

hence, why I answered, but each big al's is slightly different.

best thing to do is double check :)

then just tell them no.. you want it for the lower price.. otherwise word will get out and the store's reputation will get tarnished :D lawl..
 
I have never noticed this in any lfs near me I would however love to see it b/c it will give me an excuse to buy a 220 lol
 
well if all goes well today I will be going to order the 220 today, because I was suppost to get the used 220 like 2 weeks ago and I still havent heard from the guy... apparently he is waiting for someone to pick-up the fronts that are in the tank...

they had a 220 (72x24x30) for $1399!!!!

i would keep looking if i were you !!!!

i just got a new 220 tank ,tops, and stand for $700.00 :headbang2

i had to drive for a few hours for the deal but it was WELL worth it :D
 
I am also in Canada and for some reason even with the practically equal dollar our Aquarium stuff is still more then yours... 220's in my area are normally in the $2000 range.
 
Hey,

If you are in the Toronto area you can pm me for a tank about that size.
My brother inlaw makes them out of acrylic. For sure the price will be less than $1000.
He has been making them for years. He made my 200g (7'x2'x2') two years ago.
no probs.
