Im looking at buying a fish tank on CL Im posting a wanted ad, and I was wondering how much I should pay for a 75g or a 100g or an in between tank. Im looking for just the tank but possably a top too. I found a 75g on CL for $160 which came with a stand and other items but that just seems alot for only a 75G am I right? or do you think I could talk him down and if so to how much?
 
okay thanks, what size aquarium is a 36"L x 24" h x 18" deep

Use the conversion link at the top of page to figure out tank size. I think that is only like a 50 gallon breeder. As far as buying used tanks I usually don't pay more than $1 per gallon and usually it is less than that.

That would be a 65 gallon... so basically a 90g with one foot in length cut off of it.

I also shoot for $1 per gallon when looking for a used tank.
 
$1 a gallon is fair. Maybe even a bit more for a larger tank. A 225 is going to cost alot more than a 125 new. Thicker glass means more money IMO. If I could get a 225 for a dollar a gallon then your damn lucky. 125 gallons and under I would use the 1 buck a gallon and 180's and up think a little more than a buck a gallon.
 
Post on craigslist and wait till something you like comes along. I got an established saltwater with TONS of extras. Easily $1300 brand new... paid a whole $135 because I talked the lady down from $500 :D:D:D:D:D:D just take your time and wait till that special item comes along
 
PetCo freaquentily has sales where the have all their tanks (up to 75G) for $1.00/gallon.

36" times 24" times 18" divided by 231 = 67.324 gallons

I should say $1.00 gallon up to 100g tank. Yes bigger tanks you might have to pay more. But keep an eye out good deals come up all the time. I bought a 100g plexi with oak stand and wetdry for $150.00 on CL.
 
okay some lady just emailed me shes selling a 150 for $200, she didnt aay if anything came with it she just said tank.. so I might see if shell come down to about 150 maybe lower if I can get her too :)
