i can no longer support my lfs it moved due to the owner of the building and i could never find it again, so my options is to order a new tank online i dont wanna go to petco and buy tanks that only go up to the horriably designed 55 gallon can anyone tell me a good place online other then class cages that willdrill the tank or come predrilled and will ship ?

Um - Miracles Aquarium / Reefsavvy for glass and depending on your budget. Advanced Acrylics for Acrylic? I've used Glasscages and my tank is still here and it came put together well (it's not perfect but only I notice everyone else compliments it), I got it fast and their price point is hard to beat. Advanced Acrylics made me a really nice large frag tank that is awesome as well.

What is your location sometimes that helps on shipping.
Red Sea delivers tanks and they are very popular.
So does SCAquariums also very popular.

My glasscages tank was spot on. I drilled it myself later.

 

[JaimeAdams]

Miracles and reef savvy are really nice tanks but come with a premium price tag. I've seen some nice SCA tanks that were a steal in the price department. Glasscages make fine tanks and you can opt for holes and/or black silicon for an extra fee, but shipping can be a tad pricey. Red Sea makes nice aquarium kits.

SCA aquariums. You can find some deals on the red sea reefers if you shop around. Bulk Reef Supply gives you 10% back if you buy it through their group buy. At least that could help out with the lighting cost.

SC Aquariums (SCA) will also custom drill for you as many have requested holes drilled for the Synergy Reef Shadow overflows. Beyond their standard offerings, they'll also build custom tanks to your specs as well.

 

[chris_s9181]

water dog just wondering are they reasonable in their prices i see alot of tanks for a drilled one for a 75 or bigger 2k and up in alot of places

I think the go to guy there named Steve has a brother or cousin who either owns or runs the actual factory in China where the tanks are made. The quality seems to be top notch based on the SC Aquariums owners thread over on ReefCentral. Also, Steve is very accommodating and his customer service by all accounts is fantastic.

Hi, Chris. I live in Missouri as well. Paradise Aquatics in KC usually has a nice used selection for a good price.

I don't know if I'm allowed to link to another reef forum. Do a Google search for "SC Aquariums owners thread" and it will lead you right to that discussion on RC.

Well, cost of shipping tank is extremely expensive. If possible, I would look around in the surround 2 hour radius. That's the route I would take. But if price isn't an issue, others gave great suggestions.

Deep blue RR tanks are pretty nice and budget friendly vs others
