I am looking to upgrade from a 55gl to a 120gl i have found one for $950 at a local pet shop and it includes the stand glass cover and light strip plus the stand cover but no filter or extras is this a good price for this size tank???
I can't think of anyone who ships tanks. It's hard to compare prices, because stand quality varies so widely. If you want a wrought iron stand and cheap hood, a LFS will sell that for under $200. If you step up to a cheap 2 door pine stand at another store, again with a hood, it's going for $287. But stands can really get fancy depending on wood and canopy and whatever. But for $950, I think I'd want real gold inlays in real cherry wood, a hand carved canopy and a canister filter thrown in.
Check your classifieds for used, because I have gotten what appear to be new tanks with new stands for cheap, from someone who was either given the setup and did not want it, or got frustrated on their first try and just want it out of there. You could pay a third of that price, or even less. Shipping is going to really cost you.
You could try ebay or Aquabid and look for a local seller and pick it up.
