Petco 1 dollar per gallon aquariums

I do believe this is nationwide, anyway the 26 through Sept 2nd they are having their aquarium sale, 1 dollar per gallon up to 55 gal aquariums. Some people in the past have got the hex and cubes to at this price but it is really just supposed to be the regular black tanks at this price. This is just a list that I found as an example..
sku/description
170925 AGA-20G 24x12x16 HI BK TANK
170933 AGA-20G 30x12x12 LNG BK TANK
170941 AGA-29G 30x12x18 BK TANK
170976 AGA-55G 48x13x20 BK TANK
170968 AGA-40B 36x18x16 BK TANK

My local Petco had many 40 breeders and a few oceanic cubes. I'm going to be picking up both of them.

Hehe

I hope you guys can get it, but it's "AGA" so it's going to be a hard to convince them on oceanic cube.

It's nationwide.

No cubes are included in the sale. I believe there was a memo sent out that specifically excluded cubes.

Scored me a 40 breeder last year... Don't use for much of anything, but when I do need it, it's nice to have...

That's an awesome sale, I'll tell you!

I would like to see something on the web site or something, though. This kinda thing you need to plan for, that way I can call the stores (or suck up to someone) beforehand...

I like the way they put it "20-55 Gallon Rectangle Glass Tanks" there goes the cube.
