Best place to buy a 75 gallon tank?

[mharris7]

Not sure if this is the best forum for this.

I'm looking to buy rather quickly a 75 gallon tank(or larger) tank and stand. I need to do it as cheaply as possible, but I don't want a total hunk of junk either. It doesn't need to be reef ready. I was kind of focusing on glass, and an oceanic brand tank, but if there are other interesting options you guys are aware of I'm all ears. :) (I noticed the Marineland tanks have a 20yr warranty - not sure if they're any good though)

Pet Connection up in Cedar Park had some Natures View tanks - a 100 and a 125 I think.....

Try the new Forever Pets on San Pedro and Basse. The local aquarium makers (cant remeber name) are in back and I think there prices are fair IMO.

Thanks - that's in SA? I'm up in Austin. I might have found a good deal on a 100 gallon - I'll know more tomorrow.....

mharris,

i have a friend up in austin who is an oceanic distributor. His business is poison dart frogs, but I think he would be willing to sell you a tank. 512-493-0903, ask for Phil. Tell him Steve sent you.

I have

So has Oceanic, Dutch, Aquatrend. I have Aquatrend & overall the quality is great. Talk with Toy. He will probably sell you one through forever pets. Priced right IMO.

What ever you do, don't consider a tank purchase from PET CONNECTION!!!!!!! They lack the needs of a real pet store. Most likely it will be a Aquatrend tank..He sells them as well Oceanic..

Well I have a decent deal worked out with Pet Connection - I was going to get their 100 gallon Natures View. The Texas Tropical deal sounds awesome, but they're down in SA right? Might be worth the little extra $$$ to buy it locally here in Austin so I don't have to haul it. Pet Connection is right down the road. I know they're not real popular but all I want from them is the tank. I'm also going to see about trading him some new XM 400's I have - they're wanting to start selling them. I get the bulbs at wholesale so we're going to do a little horse trading....

Ram Puppy - I'll give him a call and check it out, thanks for the tip!

I've seen the AquaTrends tanks - they look a little cheap but I've heard for the most part pretty good things about 'em.

Geez - gotta build another canopy... fun fun! ;)
