Hey
Ok so my story starts, im looking to upgrade my 40 gallon aquarium to a 90 gallon. this time i want to go new and i want it reef ready, in town we have only 1 LFS that sells saltwater fish, corals and equipment and a petsmart. we all no petsmart is good for nothing.
so i went to my local fish store to see if they had any reef ready tanks or if i could order one. they didnt have any out but asked about ordering one. a 90 gallon was almost $800:shock: for reef ready and it wasnt even rimless (this is just the tank, no stand, nothing) so i was thinking thats way to much for just a tank so i asked about a 75 gallon tank. that two was really expensive, it was $710 just for the tank. my local fish store has always been good to me, giving me awsome deals and free stuff all the time.:bowdown: but this was not happening.:frustrat:
after hearing that i was hesitant to ask about just a tank thats not reef ready but i asked. the 90 was $380, not to bad i guess. but i wanted reef ready and not to drill it on my own.
so went home and started looking on the net, found some sites but no one seems to wanna ship aquariums :grumble: not to mention i found a RR AGA tank for $369 so why is my LFS so high.
BTW i live in canada and nothing here( Reef wise) is cheap or easily found, well i have a hard time.
i live about 3.5 hrs from duluth minnesota, so i was thinking about maybe going down for the night with the gf and picking up a RR tank. anyone around that area that might be able to point me to a good store?
What would u guys do, drive 3.5 hrs for a tank RR roughly $300-500(gas included) , buy the tank from LFS not RR and drill it myself, or buy the RR from LFS which is $795?
sorry this thread is long, im just kinda ranting on cuz i really wanted to easily upgrade but problem after problem came up sigh lol.
