I really want to buy a big tank thinking 300tall, anyone know best place on line? any suggestions? local shop it $1,600. THanks to all
 
i wouldnt recommend glasscages; my sister ordered a 220 gallon tank from them about a year aog, and the glass has turned from clear to slightly green.

and, they're shipping is about $350 to chicago.


i just checked their prices, the largest one they have is 810 gallons (144*36*36), but the glass is ONLY 3/4" thick.
my pleco tank is only 24" high with 3/4' acrylic, and their is significant bowing.
 
the shipping cost alone would be a lot. try looking on craisglist or ebay and pick it up yourself.

i always go check and buy used. i have found craisglist around me to be great. i have seen 240's as low as $500. there is usually 1 or 2 200+ gallon tanks around me a month.
 
I suggest looking for restraunt that close, got a 430G tank the other day for 90.00 with lighting and the works, it's worth lookin into
 
easy, go out to eat, write down the places that have tanks and watch the news or go by them often. when they close ask the owner or lease agent if they want to sell the tank. Most will say yes because it's hard to sell a place with ded fish in the tank stinkin up the place... make sure to have a car or someone that has a large car to move it.
 
Haven't had any issues with any of my tanks from glass cages.

Curious about the glass changing colors. Seems it would have to have been chemical related.
