I wish I was a fish I wish.
Check mapquest for a good idea of distance/driving time. I just picked up 2 70's with 2 AC 110's and a stand from the guy yesterday, it's 100 miles from my house in MD. He has 2 125's, loads of 10,20,30, etc. He used to breed angels in his basement, but gave it up after the water company did something that was killing off his fry. I picked up my tanks/stand on an e-bay auction for $76 (got lucky since there was only one other bidder). I would have liked to bring home a 125 too, but it wouldn't fit in the truck bed.
He has quite a list f/s:

I wish I was a fish I wish.
Search the surrounding area's on craigslist, not just where you live. Here is a 130 for $300 located in West Branch. http://nmi.craigslist.org/for/390820436.html I ended up buying new from Pet Supplies Plus. They have great prices on AGA.
