Where is a good place to purchase larger tanks??

I was looking at Petsmart...But I wasn't sure it there was a better place...

craigslist forsure.

i wouldnt settle for anything less. youll find a lot of people that arent trying to sell their (decent condition) tanks for a profit. most of them, not all, are just trying to get rid of it because they either cant keep up with the maintenance or just didnt know how in the first place.

just be really patient and youll find a good deal one of these days on craigslist

or they are moving and cant take the tank with them.

Or a more recent reason I saw, "Getting a divorce, wife won't let me keep it." hahaha
