Upgrading my tank to 100 gal
 

Hi I currently have a 26 gallon and have decided to upgrade to at least a 100 gallon tank when I get my tax refund in about 2 weeks. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, and/or know somewhere that has good deals on larger tanks around 100 gallons? Also, I would prefer somewhere that would have free shipping.

Depends where you live.

Atlanta, GA...but I wasn't asking specifically about phisical locations. I was also asking about websites that may sell those size tanks with free shipping.

Keep in mind the price of the tank itself is the cheapest part of having a 100g aquarium.

Salt/electricity costs creep up fast...you're looking at almost a bucket of salt every month. Lights and skimmer for a tank that size get pretty pricey...do some research. It's a huge step from a 24g, and a big financial commitment.

If you're good with that, then good luck and have fun!

I am not sure if aquarium builders do free shipping but if you are close you could do a will call and save on shipping. Here in the So Cal there are 3 tank builders.

Most will not do free shipping as it requires a crate and a common carrier, which is not cheap. It isn't as easy as just putting it in a box and calling UPS. The only one I know of that does free shipping is Glass Cages but not the prettiest tanks around and you will have to drive and meet the truck and transport it to your home. You would be better off going to a LFS and buying a tank like a 90 or 120 gallon. It will be easier and much cheaper than having a tank custom made.

I recently went from a 29 to a 92. All of a sudden my tank went from crowded to bare! Here's my upgrade build thread http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2102293
