Frankie, do you have any insight as to how long the dollar per gallon sale will run? I'd love to go pick up a 30 gallon sump for a future project, or possibly even a display tank depending on the limitations of the sale.

Thanks in advance,

Prime

It will run for 2 weeks! Around my town tanks go fast. I went in at 10 this morning and when I left all the tanks were gone

Frankie, I appreciate the quick response. I don't believe I've ever seen anything bigger than a 55 gallon at Petco, do you happen to remember if that was as big as they offer? I have my sites set on a 90, but I would certainly consider 75 for such a great bargain.

Congrats on your score today. What are your plans with the new acquisition?

They don't go any bigger than 55g and they tempered. So no drill for those tanks. Look at glasscages.com they have an assortment of tanks with many customizable options.

I play on doing another saltwater show tank.

If I'm not mistaken I believe only the bottom of the tank is tempered due to it being the panel that holds the most weight. Picked me up a 10 gal, gonna do a planted shrimp/betta tank.
