It looks like I'm crossing the line between hobby and addiction.... I've been at this for about 6 months now and am looking at getting a second tank (~75 gallon). As such I've been reading Jchillin's thread with a lot of interest, but I'm still pretty clueless about a number of things. First off, I've been looking around at various LFSs and yesterday came across what seemed like a good deal. They had a 75 gallon (All-Glass) with heater, pine stand, and 2 Penguin 330's for $520. They would allow me to substitute a canister filter for the difference in cost. However, since they seem to be really overpricing the Penguins (about $60 each), a Fluval 404 is almost the same price! My questions then, is this indeed a good deal? If not, do you have any suggestions of where to find the tank and stand on-line? Is All-Glass a good brand for the tank? They only are offering a one year warranty with it (which is actually what led me to get an acryllic tank the first time around--it came with a lifetime warranty).
I'm sure I'll have more questions as we go, but thanks for your help!
