I have noticed in a few threads that ppl (including my self) have been talkin about how expensive fish keeping is in canada well i decided to post a few links to prove the horrible prices here, even used tanks on craigslist

http://vancouver.craigslist.org/fur/450333892.html 33 gallon tank $300
http://vancouver.craigslist.org/for/450930670.html 150 for $1000
http://vancouver.craigslist.org/for/451683476.html 72 SW for $2200
http://vancouver.craigslist.org/fur/452232814.html 10 gallon $60
http://vancouver.craigslist.org/for/452166748.html 33 gallon $275
http://vancouver.craigslist.org/for/451948023.html 20 nano reef $450
http://vancouver.craigslist.org/hsh/450318589.html 27 gallon $200

There are some that aren't so bad like a 33 gallon for $40 that i saw a while ago, but thats about it few decent prices but i would still spend the few extra dollars to buy new with a warranty.
 
Isn't any better out in Ontario either sadly. Can get a few good deals but people over-estimate the value of their used equipment. Ive seen 20 gal setups for $300. THey think because they include fish that I didn't choose gravel I don't want to have to carry and decorations that look cheesy that I am going to want to pay full retail or more? Id rather get a brand new one thanks. We should set up a Canadian aquatic exchange and regulate the pricing :p.
 
a ten gallon for 60bucks dang, i can get those for 10 bucks or like 20-30 complete setup
 
yeah and unfortunatly its not like you see theses only every once in a while all those posts on CL are from 1 or 2 days, with maybe one decent deal in there but even then it wasn't very good
 
Wow dude those prices are (pardon my french) Bull****.. I bought a 135 (well WILL be) gallon for 250 w filters heaters light and stand
