Buying a tank

[Rob6311]

Can anyone suggest a good website to buy or browse a wide variety of tanks?

what kind of tanks? larger glass tanks or small all-in-one's?

the store websites are good to look at all-in-ones. aqueon and marineland (makers of glass tanks) have their sizes listed on their websites.

Sorry, large tanks. Even a website where I can customize a tank. But not a deal breaker if that's not possible. But it has to be glass

You can use Glass Cages for an unbelievably easy and cheap tank. However there are mixed reviews as some have experienced shoddy silicon jobs.

Tell us what part of the world you're living in, and someone will likely chime in with something close to you.

Yeah I was looking at that website but it was a bit confusing because it didn't really have gallon labels on all the tanks, just dimensions of the tank, but that might be because I was looking on my phone so I'll look on the computer

...people are getting out of the hobby all the time, a continuous flow.

with patience, you can get the tank you want for 10, 20, 30 cents on the dollar of what a new one costs

Yeah I've checked Craigslist and eBay and all that but I'm looking for a really big cube tank and I think that would be a little harder to come by

Not sure about cubes, but this is a good site:

CL all the way. You'd be shocked what pops up. I stumbled on a 80 gallon half-circle (try finding a decent-priced one anywhere other than CL..) with a bundled system worth well over $3,000 and I got it for $600.
Like with everything else in this hobby, be patient and it will come. IMO waiting until you find the right system on CL, especially if budget is a concern, is much better than trying to find a "cheaper" deal online; as you will see long-term why it was cheap. As SkimJim said, there are many full systems that people aren't willing to care for anymore, if there aren't any on Pocono's CL; check out surrounding cities as well.
If budget isn't a concern, Great Lakes and Vivid are great options. Check out CAD Lights and SC Aquariums as well, although many mixed reviews from the two.
