New Aquarium

[Guest clownfish4]

Where is the best place to get a new aquarium?  I am looking between 120 and 240 gallons and no more than 6ft long.  I have looked at the 240g on glasscages.com and am waiting to hear a shipping estimate.  I would also like some feedback on them as a site.  But I would prefer to shop locally.  So where around here is good and reasonably priced?

If you get a tank at glass cages, wait till the next area show they do... avoid shipping.  I think that is about 2 or 3 months away.

 

Don't take this the wrong way, I mean it as a complement, but how does a guy in highschool get the $ to buy a 240g fish tank?  I never had money for gass.

 

Good for you!!

FWIW, Glasscages comes to Manassas about every two months.  Shipping on a 240 gallon glass tank would be a costly item I'm sure.  It would have to come via some freight carrier for sure.  You would also need a few extra hands to move it around also.  There is a show list on their site if you want to see when they will be in Manassas next.  In addition to being very cost effective for a glass tank, I've heard they do good work.

Well, the 240 is only $500.  The big problem is going to be lighting, which is why I am considering dropping down to a 90, which is only $120.  Most of the money to fund this tank would come from selling my 29g drilled tank with the 20g sump.  This isn't definate, just throwing some ideas around.  I would really like to know of some local places to buy it for the same ballpark in price.  And if I do go with glasscages.com, I would wait for their show which is about 2 months away.
