i currently have a 55gal with a lionfish, clown trigger and dogface puffer. I got the lionfish and clown at around the same time. then a month later got a juve dogface. I kno i jumped the gun with gettin two fish right away but everything as been going great, but my lionfish has grown really fast along with the others. So i want to upgrade to a 75 or 95. Is that big enough? Also where is the best place to order a tank. Online? if so, where? or at the shady local fish stores? thanx

Its an iffy situation to order a tank online and hope it makes it intact to your house. I have seen a multitude of broken busted Aqua POds, JBJ Nano cubes and Bio Cubes come into the lfs here and also a fair share of chipped and cracked glass tanks. I personally would buy local. Ever see how lots of the regular glass tanks are shiped. They merely wrap cardboard around them with nbig labels GLASS and HANDLE with CARE....yea right like they really care......You really do not even see many tanks with the exception of acrylics offered for sale unless they state local pickup only.

if i were buying a new glass tank i would buy a perfecto, from what i am understanding they come with a 10 year warrantee and have top notch service.
all glass aquarium used to be a very good co until they got purchased a couple of years ago, they still have good tanks but if you have a warrantee issue...they suck! worst customer service i have seen in a long time!
I will never purchase another aga tank again!

as far as online stores you will have to search online its against the board rules to post links to other SW and aquarium stores.
If you are looking at brands then I always liked oceanic to me its a better quality with thicker glass then the other tanks I have owned
