Where can i find cheap affordable tanks online?

[DrewBrees713]

I've done some research for rimless tanks 30-60g and theyre a bit bit pricey. Does anyone know where i should look. Im spending most of $ taking care of strays so i cant afford anything fancy. Thanks

petco might be a good bet for a normal aqueon tank. Rimless is always more expansive though.

If not afraid of DIY, building your own tank is possible too.

if you want to diy a bit, then you can go buy tank from petco during the dollar per gallon then remove the rim. add couple glass on top and you get your rimless tank.
As long you looking for 40 gallon or lower, you'll be fine. Anything bigger, I would suggest buy a new rimless one

Have a look on craigslist / ebay you may find something super good for super cheap

deep blue tanks work for the absolute cheapest drilled and rimless tanks, i had one, worked fine but overflow takes up a ton of space

personally I use kijiji and other local reef websites for cheap tanks and frags

I’d second this, and add Facebook marketplace and Craigslist. We got a great deal on our 180 because the guy’s wife who had just bought it wasn’t pleased about her dining room being turned into a fish room.

Hope I am not violating any rules but might have the tank you are looking for if you are interested in a used tank. PM me if so.
