PLEASE DONT USE GREAT STUFF (THE YELLOW STUFF) IN YOUR TANK........USE POND FOAM (THE BLACK STUFF).. I BEG YOU!

Great stuff====$5 a can
24-48 hour cure
Epoxy to cover it====little as $5 for small projects or up to $100+ for larger projects
and another 24-48 hour cure
I hope you covered it well cuz if you didnt it will start to break down in a few months
sand is another added cost to cover up the yellow.

Pond foams====$9-$15 a can
24-48 hour cure
DONE! You can cover it with sand if you want to (YOU DONT HAVE TO) though but thats added cost again

Current Tank Info: 75 gal under way

There is often a balance to be struck between pricing and the cost of shipping (including free). Petco and Petsmart carry items, often "on sale" with free shipping on purchases over $50. I have found several sites with great prices that charge very little for shipping - beating out the total at the other places. If you are going for buying "big" or multiple items, several sites have great prices AND ship free over $150-175-200. include petmountain.com among these as well.

Note also, that many sites will price match, but that includes the cost with the competitor's shipping. It often pays to shop around to find who has the best deals. I rarely find one site that has everything I need.

Free Shipping From Any of the sites that say "free Shipping" is a myth, For example Marine Depot Says free shipping over 175.00 But Order 175.00 Worth of Salt Buckets and See how Fast the "Special Handling charge" adds up!UPS Ground: $100.70 (Free Shipping + $0.70 insurance + $100.00 special handling) For Red Sea Coral Pro Salt Mix 175gal - Bucket x5 This is common from most of the free shipping sites, My Honest Advice Watch local Chains Like Petco,Pets mart,Pet supplies plus for sales on dry goods They have the shear buying power and there own trucks to lower shipping costs. Just My .02
