I want a 55 gallon but i can't ever find a place around me that sells for a good price. Then if it is a good price it's a million miles away with pick-up only. I need a place that ships but also has decent (non-highway) robbing prices.
wal mart does sell 55's but I would look on craigslist and make a ad saying you want to buy a 55 or how ever many gallon tank you want if no luck there then I would check glass cages
Nothing wrong with local pickup. Pay them the extra $5-15 to deliver it to your house. Craigslist usually has some very good deals. I got my 75g complete setup for $100 there.
A 55 gal should fit in most cars. If your rear seats lay down it should work. I drive an audi and I can fit 2 55's with the seats layed down. I have test drove pick ups to get tanks home as well! My walmart sells 55's with everything to get started for $169.
