So, I currently have a 55 gallon fowlr tank and am looking to upsize. I'm think possibly a little over 100 gallons, is there any place that you all would recommend buying my tank from? And anything else that I should get while I'm at it? I currently have a back pack skimmer, but I want to add a sump to my bigger tank, introduce pods and all that fun stuff, plus a carbon reactor and a nicer skimmer. So any info on this could help me.

I'm also looking to get into corals soon too? So should get a calcium reactor or anything too? I need so much information, and to think I've been in the hobby for a little over 2 years....

Thanks in advance!
 
Not sure where you live, but a number of LFS in my area sell their tanks pretty much at cost. They know you're going to be back to buy all the other stuff and that's where they'll make their money. In my area I'd either go to The Hidden Reef in Levittown, PA, or Tropiquarium in Ocean, NJ. For a sump, Petco when they are having their dollar-a-gallon sale for a 40B.


Also, if you don't mind used, try Craigslist. Can pick up tanks pretty cheap.
