Hey. I was wondering where all these people get their 300,400,and 500 gallon tanks from the threads I read. I have a 46gallon now and will be upgrading in a year or so and I would like to go with at least a 250gallon. I checked out Aqueon, Perfecto, Ocenaic and Marineland. I think it was Perfecto who had a 300gallon but that was it. SO where do u find these huge tanks? And if u could include a good filtration system as well, I've never dealt with a tank larger then 46g so Im only use to the small filtration systems lol. Thanks guys
Where do u get your tanks from?

They also build their own sumps

I've gotten all my tanks off craigslist... but other enthusiest in my area build their own as well... but I couldn't tell you where they get the acrylic from...
I got my 750 used, not sure where it came from originally. I have a local shop that does commercial setups build all my other big tanks.
You could try Tenecor, Glass Cages, Coast to Coast Aquariums or ATM if you want to buy new. There are others out there, but these are the ones that I'm familar with.
If you want to buy used you might be able to find what you want here on MFK or on C-List.

DIY, Craigslist and Forums for bigger tanks.
I will buy small (<55g) tanks new though because they can be found on sale for $1 a gallon sometimes.

Yard sales, thrift stores and craigslit. I got my 60g acryllic for 15 buck at a thrift store. It was supposed to be $20 but I asked if I could return it if it leaked. The manager said no and then offered 15
