typical pricing. certainly nothing to write home about.
new AGA 90g with megaflow run about $250 and the AGA stand run about $150 so there is nothing special about that price.
75 and 90 gallons use the same stand so your paying $150 for the undrilled 75 which again is about typical.

Just to clear something up with AGA oak just denotes the color. The stand itself is actually made out of soft pine wood and oak is actually a few bucks cheaper than the black color. The only AGA stands that are actually built from hardwood oak are the modern series and they are priced accordingly.
AGA pine "oak" stand on the left
AGA modern series "real" oak hardwood stand

Stanlalee I wish I could find those prices here. I must be seeing a lot of mark up here. Bill, the AGA I referenced stood for All Glass Aquarium as a brand name, like Stanalee posted for stands as well. I think the 90 you mentioned if new from a dealer is a fair price for what I have seen.

Probably so here there's a pet store every 10 miles that sells AGA tanks and every store always has a few sizes on sale. I can literally go to 10 different pet stores within a 30 mile radius and get AGA tanks.I did ask about a AGA 90g megaflow tank in novemeber and it was $247 locally and that was regular price. I checked a few places for stands and found several marked a few bucks under $150. What he found the 75g for with stand is the same price I get around here. For other reference a 4'x2'x2' 120g AGA is $399 (stand still $150) and 210g AGA are $599. non drilled 125g are $299 and 125g AGA stand $245 (just check those last month then built my own for like half that). those are all I can think of off the top of my head.
