Cheap

It is possible to ship an aquarium that is 200 gallons or more. They shipped my 240 gal by freight shipping all the way from the east coast.

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.....
