Setting up a new freshwater aquarium can be a rather large project and you want to make sure you do it right the first time. If you need help with your fish tank please don't be afraid to ask questions. That's what this fish forum is all about!

Used tanks here go for around $.80-1.00 per gallon.

New are expensive, a new 75gal around $250-300. (tank only)

New are definitely expensive. I only look for used tanks now. Atlanta metro is so huge that we can find great deals if we wait for them. We got our 120 gallon w/ stand for $150. A friend gave me the 75 and the stand for free. Now we have all the tanks that we'll ever need and aren't looking for any more.

LOL.... it's mostly a matter of what we can reasonably expect to take care of. When it's all said and done we'll have the 8, 55, 75, and 120 FW, and the 50, 100, and 125 SW. 7 tanks (6 of them pretty large) is pretty much going to max us out in terms of what we can have and still maintain the level of maintenance that we have come to expect from ourselves.

I agree with gmen4life, craigslist is the best bet around here as with a little patience you can get a real deal..........

Try Freecycle...I have picked up my best tanks for nothing, and most with filters, lights, and stands.

Man, I spent around $15-20 a gallon on my 10 Gallon.

Most of that was bad mistakes or stuff I didn't need.
