i'd go on craigslist...you can get some really good deals...that's where i got my biocube...jus make sure you really check out the stuff and the reason why they're selling it...

I would start on Craigslist and on this site in the equipment forum. There are some truly gr8 deals to be had if your patient. You will usually want to buy the tank & stand locally but then shop for the rest of the equipment. I like to support the local guys when possible but sometimes their pricing on equipment is a lil ridiculous.

Before you actually buy anything I would highly recommend that you get some reading under your belt. This could potentially save you a small fortune and lots of frustration and headaches.
