What is a trusted site to buy a fish tank online? Id rather not use ebay(or craigslist) because most are pickup only and if they are used i would not know if it leaks.I looked at common places like petsco and petsmart but they had smaller tanks, im looking for about 75G. If it matters the tank will be set up for saltwater and it will be my first saltwater setup

WOW do you know what you would pay for shipping on a 75 gal? way more than the gas to pick one up!!

congrats on the SW setup tho!! and make sure when you get it, however you go about it, you share the pics!!

Hi!
I remember when I started researching the tanks for sale online. The majority of them did not ship glass tanks, but did the acrylic types. When you ship something that big and heavy it is pretty risky IMO. Even a small crack that you cant see when you set up can spell disaster.
Hopefully as Shawnie mentioned you may have better luck spending the duckets for gas... and pick one up yourself.

Shipping is a real killer on tanks, I'd look at craigslist, kijiji, freecycle, local garage sales, thrift shops and any local aquarium clubs for tanks.
