Let ya in on a little tip I've learned HPD, keep your eyes open for any local fish clubs, classified ads in the paper, even here on RC for used tanks/equipment. You can find so many awesome deals it'll make your head spin. I have enough room and time available to handle a few tanks but I have over 25 sittign througout the house just because I find them so cheap. My latest was a 110 gallon pre-drilled for closed loop, no noticable scratches on it, only paid $50. One before that was a 220g I picked up for $575, but came with stand and canopy. I spent more than those two combined for the scratched up 55g I'm currently using
