Cheap

Yes GlassCages ship over 200 gallon tanks. I got an estimate for a 300 gallon delivery and they do stops around the country so if you pick it up from one of the trucks they charge you $80.00. If I wanted it delivered to a local pickup they wanted $300.00!!!

If I only lived in Nashville.
 
Just for reference, the Wal-Mart 55 gallon kit is $150. The filter that comes with it is junk (why couldn't they include a Whisper like they do in ALL their other kits?) and the lamps themselves leave some to be desired but other than that I thought it was a very good deal (I bought this kit because I was not willing to pay $40 apiece for hoods!)

By the way, does anyone know any place where I can get el cheap@$$ hoods or cover glasses for a 55? I just aquired a second 55 and it has NO covers!

I got glass tops for my 55 at Pet Supermarket. it's actually 2 separate lids to fit on either side of the center brace. I can't remember how much I paid, but I don't think it was that much
 
'www.thatpetplace.com' sells a nice one that comes in only two pieces, but that was for my 75 gallon (18"x48") and that glass is a little thicker than the usual 2 seperate lids that I had originally. I don't know if they make this style for the 55 gallon (12"X48") though. You would have to call and check.

I couldent go this weekend but i'll be going monday morning, Dwayne I'll be going too the petsmart in Hiram thats the one we go too its the closest,BTW I called the petsmart and they said they have a 50 gallon for $130 I guess thats the one i'll get tomorrow.
 
NO Wal-Mart for me those retail nazis! They don't take care of their fish either! Please buy it elsewhere if you can.... they do not deserve your business. Good luck! BTW, I just got a 75 in a Place called City Pets in Houston and they are the best around! Got everything inc lights & fixtures, 2 filters, tops, water conditioners, heaters, gravel of choice, etc. for $400. This included a VERY nice cabinet to put the aquarium on.....
