That seems like an awful lot of 20 gallon tanks. You sure he wasn't pulling your leg a little?

It is a really big high volume location it is possible but those tanks would have to last till 1/24 so it is possible

Do they have these sales often? I was thinking about getting a 20gal for a sump I want to build later.

The fluvial led lights are also 50 percent off. The saltwater leds are usually 160. I bought mine for 80. That ends I think the 16th? or the 27th? not sure

Picked up 2 20gal longs at our local store. Which were the only 2 that they had along with a bunch of 10 gal tanks.

Petco is stocking the Tetra tanks locally, at least for the same. There was a lone (not on sale) Aqueon.

The build quality isn't as good, but its fine for the purpose.
