tank prices help!!!!!!!!

[evilss]

hello,
i need to know if these tanks prices are a good deal or if i should i shop somewhere else.
150g $899
tank, stand, wet + dry filter. lights
220g $1199
tank, stand, wet + dry filter, lights
both are brand new. i got a protein skimmer that would work for either one with some powerheads at home. plzzzz advise on what you guys would do. thanks.

I paid $1400.00 (including TAX & delivery)for a 220g (glass) reef ready Oceanic with glass covers and pc lights. No stand or hood/canopy.
If its glass, go for the 220g. You will only kick yourself later if you go smaller...(as long has you have room for it !)
Good find

Bigger the better!!!!!!!!! IMO.

Price around here is $750 for a new 220g with built in overflows.

I have to agree with iceburger i also work at a lfs and with my 30% discount i could not get that deal buy it any way possissable trust me that is an excellent deal.

Better than what I got.
I was looking at a 220 tank stand and crappy lights for 1700
But the girl that worked there was cute!

i was thinking about the 150 cause its cheaper but i would have to kick my own azz for not spending just 300 more for the 220. its at my lfs about 10 minutes away so the distance to travel is not far. how much do you guys think that the 220 tank will weight?? thanks again.

We paid $650 or so for a drilled 75 gallon tank with tank, stand, lights (which were of no use for the reef tank), tidepool system underneath, and all of the plumbing supplies to hook it all up. Are these tanks drilled. I think it is a steal...if they are drilled. I would never go with an exteranl overflow box again. I love it. Just my opinion.

I guess it depends on how nice the stand is. Around here I paid $110 for a brand new 75 tank and stands start at $90 and go to a couple hundred if they are made of nice real wood.

THE STAND LOOKS REAL NICE. I DONT HTINK THAT THE TANK IS DRILLED. BUT I WILL LOOK CLOSER BEFORE I BUY. IS IT HARD TO RUN THE WET DRY FILTER WITHOUT HOLES?

 

[fishy all the time]

I preferred it to be drilled. I have had both. I like the fact that right now everything is under the tank in the stand. Nothing is hanging off the back of the tank and there are no holes so I dont get salt creep. Just my opinion.

get drilled, it looks so clean. Everything can be contained under the stand.
