I've gotten numerous tanks off craigslist... 150g complete setup- $225... 125g tank/stand- $200... I think I had 6 55g tanks up at one point, all for less than $100, two of them were actually free. I will NEVER buy a new tank again. I paid over $300 for my 40 breeder tank and stand. I get sick thinking about it

Sadly all good deals on craigslist and eBay are out of my area -__- the last thing I want to do is get the tank from petco. 230 just for the tank and hood. NO THANKS.

All hope may not be lost. I might get this guys 70 gallon. 51 bucks! It's suppose to be for a SW tank, but ill clean it out really good. Comes with a skimmer, 100 lbs of dead rock. A heater hood light. And more. Ill save the 100 pounds of live rock for my SW tank and the skimmer.

Thanks for sending me that link, I'm buying a 55 gallon with heater light hood , and a ten gallon with heater light hood bubble stick thing, for 105$. I'm fine with the price. I mean a ten gallon I could also use and It seems I can't find a 55 used in the area.

So u got it from the cat in Jersey close to you? I use my ten gallon as a qt and have used it to experiment with diy co2.
Glad you got it, and it wasnt a ride and a half
