Dave,

Thanks for the info! For those of us whom have not priced 125 gal tanks lately, how much does a brand new one cost?

Thanks again!

Thanks for the info Mikey Kliff. I was at the LFS this weekend and he was asking $350. I'll keep Aquatic World in mind in the future. If nothing else it's a bargining chip to use with the local guy.

FWIW, make sure you are comparing "apples to apples" Mikey and Jeff. Are both of you talking about tanks from the same manufacturer with same features? As I'm sure you know (but lurkers may not), "reef ready" tanks (e.g., drilled tank with internal overflows) cost more than plain tanks and I _think_ Oceanic tanks have always cost more than All Glass (supposedly because of better quality). Oceanic tanks come with glass covers and lights, whether you want them or not (or at least they used to, but the lights are regular fluorescents, even on the reef ready tanks).

Just my 2 cents:-)

the price i gave was on a plain All glass tank, NOT drilled , NO overflow.......

Oceanic is Very costly, for there "better quality"

and its a major name brand, and there down in texas, so thats a way's for them to get up here
