Predrilled Aquarium

tehon3299 · 03/05/2006, 04:30 PM

Hey guys -

I am looking to purchase a 90g predrilled aquarium for use with a sump. Any suggestions on where to purchase a 90g predrilled aquarium from online?

Thanks!

Buying one online would probably be expensive when it comes to shipping. Where are you located? There are many local club forum on reefcentral and they may help you save some money.

Shipping a tank gets expensive. Have you considered checking a local club forum for a used one that might be for sale?

I don't think you want to get it online. The freight costs will kill you. It will add significant cost to the tank.

I bought a 90 gallon AGA Reef ready tank from a LFS and paid $278.00. If I were to buy it online I think it would add $100 to $200 more dollars to the cost of the tank.

But check out the references poeple give you maybe you can get a deal.

Regards,

Pat

Thanks for the advise guys. I am located in central NY. I talked to a guy at the LFS today and he said for around $560 he can order me a predrilled 90g including the stand and top and cheapo lights which I would want to replace anyways. Petco said that the tank alone would be around $360 for predrilled.

I was quoted $270 for a predrilled 90 at my LFS too, for what it's worth.
