55 gl or greater in Chicago

[tigris]

I am in need. My African cichlets have outgrown their 30 gal, so I need a larger tank. Am a grad student so I can only pay some $$.

Please help :bowing:




Found a 55gal with stand and plants and other decorative stuff for $80, so I am happy. Cool deal!

My African Cichlets will be happy

tigris, I'm in Chicago, and have been searching for some used aquariums. I'll give you a few ads that I've found....

75 Gallon Complete

Someone has a 55 gallon with a stand for sale in the Chicago Reader Classifieds for $80, 630-788-9410 I believe it's black.

Here's a few classifieds: http://www.bargaintraderonline.com/browse.ads/2/Fishing_Gear

and then there's the Greater Chicago Cichlid Association's classifieds . There are a few good deals there. I'm buying the 45 gallon complete from someone that posted an ad there.

Thanks for the tip CRAX. Didn't find any in my price range yet, but will keep looking.

You're welcome.
Also, try posting a want ad on the Greater Chicago Cichlid Association's classifieds. I posted a "WANTED - 55 gallon tank and stand" want ad last night and I already had 2 calls today from people looking to sell their 55's.
