Sourcing a fish tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Most people look to craigslist or second hand tanks to get their bigger acquisitions :)
 
Thanks for the recommendations, I’m new to the forum and only just found the market place I’ll be keeping an eye out for a good deal!
 
im partial to new tanks just cause ive had so many bad experiences buying used. im currently looking for a good deal on a new acrylic. sites like houzz and hayneedle have some pretty good prices on new tanks, usually only available in certain sizes, colors, etc. sometimes petsmart will have good flash sales on tanks with free shipping. ive seen them as much as 40% off.
 
I've rescued most of my tanks from the curbside,at different times they were put out for trash pick up.

I had a tank from craigslist pop a seam and damage my flooring a bit before I realized. Now I re-seal my secondhand tanks. I just use a razor and cut the excess silicon off then run a new bead. Haven't had a problem since I started doing that.
