Habitat - Indoor :: about tank price

Turtle tank setups and other indoor configurations.

Post Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2008 2:48 am   about tank price

I was 99% positive that I saw a 90 gallon for less than $50 in Big Al's. It's the one with only the tank, no stand, no lid. I started to think that it's a really good deal since I read that a 20 gallon tank costs more than $100 or so somewhere on the forum.. It seems like tanks are so expensive, so I started to doubt what I saw in Big Al's. I am Toronto by the way.

That IS a good deal! If it's still there, I'd scoop it! But I doubt it's still there. I've heard of people getting really good deals on tanks at Big Als. Perhaps it was scratched or something and they were blowing it out.

I am pretty sure they are new. I really want to get a 90 gallon one. I have two turtles and their sizes add up to 4.5 inches. I am currently keeping them in a 20 gallon tank. I know it's way too small for them. But 20 gallon the the max size I can carry around once every 4 months. I live in rez and there is no space for a 90 gallon tank. o_O

See, even though the tank is cheap...Shipping is where they kill you. Unless Big Al's has a store near you that you saw it in... but does Big Al's have a store?

Yes. It does. It's called Aquarium Services. I hope that price stay unchanged for the next 3 years. So I can get it right after I graduate.

I few years ago , I would have said 90 bucks Canadian is like 900 bucks US , but our dollar is dropping so fast I can not make that joke any more ? So sad.
