Looking for a tank. Just moved to Knox

[OrthoVet05]

Hey guys! I just moved to Knoxville and am in the process of starting up a saltwater reef tank. ISO a 40-60 G, sump, and light for the $500-600 range. I just don't want to settle for a BioCube 32G from Amazon. I have been copiously looking through the garbage all over CL, LetGO, Ebay until one of my co-workers told me about this ETRC forum. I have been a member of R2R for a few weeks now. Let me know if you guys have anything available! Thanks!

Welcome to R2R and welcome to Knoxville! Are you looking for a used tanks only, if not, have you tried the local fish stores?
1 other option would be Parrot Aquatics, they often have used tanks and equipment. @parroki can give you more info.
I will keep an eye out for ya. Good luck with your search and don't forget to start a build thread when you finally get a tank!

Thanks Palyzoa! I have looked at the Aquarium haha! I haven't looked into Aquatic Marine yet though. Do you have any suggestions? I will email Parrot and see if they have anything as well.

 

[OrthoVet05]

Also, used/new whatever is the best value!

 

[Palyzoa]

Aquatic Marine often have affordable reef tank packages with everything you need.

You just got excellent advice! @Reefrookie220 works at the Aquarium on Papermill too.

 

[Katrina71]

Strongly recommend Parrot first. Good guys. Will hook ya up!

My suggestion would be Parrot for used perhaps, Aquatic Marine for new/custom (although Daniel just got a rocking custom from The Aquarium - nicest I've seen).

If it's your first tank, an RO/DI unit, lights and a skimmer may be just as significant procurements as the display IMO.

[edit - just saw you'd already got the RO/DI]

Welcome to Knoxville! I hope you find ETRC as welcoming as its people My only advice- don't buy a 48 inch long by 12 inch fat by 24 inches tall. reason being you don't get to move your rocks around at all. It has 1 configuration. WALLLLLS

I agree; they are my favorite people that I've ever worked with. They made sure I was happy, and got it at a price that made me happy
