- Start date
I think thats a good deal. I paid $599 for a 6' X 24" X 24" new. It was very very heavy. Took 5 medium sized guys to carry it out and move it.
Is it a 150?

you can easily get 120-180g tanks for under 200$ on classifieds (forums, ebay, etc)
stands are usually more than tanks (regardless of size)

so not such a great deal then...dont' you usually have to deal with shipping and all that jazz from the classifieds?
That 6'x18"x18" tank is actually only 101 gallons. I recently went to My LFS to get glass tank prices. They have a 48"x24"x22" 110G tank for $192, a 72"x18"x24" 135G (called a 140g) for $288, and a 72"x24"x24" 180G for $372.
The Glass Tank Manufacturer is "Great Lakes Aquariums".
My LFS is "Greenwood Pets and Plants" in Warren, Michigan

Wow, those are some pretty cheap prices. $599 was the cheapest price i could hunt down in my area
i sold a 125 for 75 bucks. it all depends on your area. is the tank used? i dont like used big tanks because if you have to reseal it, that will cost money and work to get it right.
Check with www.glasscages.com. Check to see if they have drop off spots in your area - they charge about $60-$80 for the shipping to one of their drop offs.
