New Setup

[cabinreefer]

So I am moving and leaving my 180 gallon tank behind.. ive looked at getting a red sea but spent almost $10K on my last tank just putting it together, all the rock, sand, everything.. I kept my hydras but that is it.. I would prefer to have a 100-125 gallon aquarium.. wouldnt mind putting one together to save money.. i would much rather buy a cheaper tank and stand and then spend more money on a sump, pumps, skimmer, etc.. I'm really tempted to buy this 125Gallon aquarium and stand from petsmart for $500.. is that a bad call? i've also never drilled holes in a tank before, is that too difficult? any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Plenty of videos on drilling out there. I personally wouldn't bother trying to drill and try to scoop up someonelses tank whos exiting the hobby for that price.. Too bad your on the east side, not sure how much shipping would be. Check out www.scaquariums.com. They have reef ready 125 + starfire for 900. If your handy enough, you can build a basic stand.

Look on Craig's list.

I don't think I would drill a Petsmart tank. I have the 150 scaquarium which is actually only 105 gallons of water. What I didn't know when I bought it is that you can order it drilled in the back instead of bottom. Ran me $1000.
