where's the best place to buy tanks?

online?
newspaper/classified ads
chain stores
independent stores
pawn shops?

i'm just wondering what costs how much really... i'm sure pet stores aren't the best way to go.. i got a 55 gallon for $100.. it seemed like a deal??

All of the Above.

Really all of the locations you gave are very good potental sources for a good deal on a tank. A few members here have found awsome deals on tanks or even complete setups from newspapers. Some members have very good local competition in the LFS's and end up with great prices on new tanks from local chains.

Depending what is included with your 55 gal the price you gave could be a very good deal or could just be standard pricing.

Could you outline what you get for your money?
