Btw I tinted the glass so its dark for em I got the temp down about 67 Far right now Looking for a minI fridge to make a chiller...And I used my filters and plates from My other aqueon filters as cycled media witch have been in a year cycled tank
So yea I'm running 2 55s got a 3rd ready for repair a 30 gal running And I got 2 10 gals for quarintine So much filtration on all of them I could water a 3rd world country
On another side note I got well water and when ever I fill a tank or water changes They are cloudy for 4 to 6 hours or so

 

[THRESHER]

Well alrighty then!! That's great! Glad you saved it. Looking real good too! Wow you lucked on with that craigslist deal. I've found several deals on CL myself. Got a 40gal and a 45gal for free!

The dollar per gallon sale started again! This time it goes until November 17, 2018!

 

[TheMadScientist]

But what on tanks up to 30 gallons now right?

 

[wrs2]

Yeah. Over 29 gallon are 50% off.
But a 40 breeder is only $50 so that’s really not that bad. It’s basically $1.25 pergallon which isn’t bad!

 

[TheMadScientist]

To small for the likes of me any more I might look into the 75 But I'm ready to get a bigger tank lol

 

[Dawn Michele]

Thanks for sharing!!!

 

[wrs2]

I like nano tanks so anything over the 40 breeder is too big for me!

 

[BigManAquatics]

That explains why the had a huge stack of the 40 breeders at my nearest Petco the other day

 

[Bainza]

Well I was thinking about getting a 10 gallon for guppie growout. Maybe I should grab a 40 and make my 20 for the guppies

 

[Fanatic]

Yes, thanks!
I needed this badly, getting another tank soon

 

[azcody]

Last time I was there I saw they started carrying rimless tanks, anyone know if those are on sale?

Someone here said they don't, but why not call the store and ask them and then let us know? lol

 

[Cheesearmada]

Guess its time to stock up on quarantine tanks? Or sumps?

They might go on sale but definitely not DPG. All the DPG tanks are Aqueon and only the 10, 20t, 20l and 29. They stopped offering the 75 gallon for 50% off so only the 40b and 55 gallon are 50% off during the sale. I know some stores still sold the 75 gallon for 50% off during the sale but that was early this year.

 

[NYFishGuy]

Wow that's pretty quick. Last one ended a little over a month ago.
Haven't set up all the tanks I got from that but think I might need some 40B's

I just saw it on their website 40 55 and 75 50% off

I woudl love to get a 40 breeder, but my tank stand only goes back 16 inches, so I am 2 inches too short!

That's what I need now,I got 2 of my 3 55s on stands I wish they would throw up a stand sale,
I don't want to buy those cheap of the cheap stands
Of coarse When I bought my tanks on craigslist they both came with stands
One did not
I have all the equipment needed to setup a 3rd 55
I may reseal it and let it sit around But every time I go online to find a stand I find a killer deal on tank stand and everything included

My brother custom made my stand. It’s pretty sturdy and can fit my 3 20s, a 10 and 2 5.5s (sideways though). I just wish I said 18 deep instead of 16, but it was too late when I realized I wanted it larger.

I do a lot in life, repair electronics,Auto mechanic and such But I'm no carpenter lol I would love to just build my own But I am sure I would mess it up

Looks like they added the 75 gallon again. They only had the 40b and 55 gallon all summer.

You could get a piece of plywood and cut it 48.5" x 18.5", put it on top of the stand and put the tank on top. 1/2" or thicker will work.

I have a Brooklyn metal stand for my 40b and it's pretty solid. The 55 gallon stand is $64.

I figured the Imagitarium stand would be as flimsy as the rest of what they sell So I didnt consider that one
I saw comments of it moving about once the tank and water was on it,Does it sway in the breeze?

 

[midna]

begone, demon!!!! I don't need any more tanks!

 

[Thunder_o_b]

Giving serious consideration to a 75 gallon to replace the 150 that flooded the house Thursday.

My 55 sprang a leak several weeks back right in front of my eyes I was lucky I missed the half off sale I paid full price for a new 55

We had a 37 with a cross strap have the brace brake this past spring. Mad a bit of a mess too
Great! The Poo Just Hit The Fan.

Last time they had the DPG sale I wanted to get my Hermit Crabs a new tank, a 20 high as I have them in a 15 gallon and the footprint is the same. BUT now I think I may just want to get the 20 high and move my fish from my 10 gallon (well it's basically a shrimp tank with a few random fish) to the 20 high and then put the crabs in the 10. The heater I have barely keeps the temp at 70 as in in a 15, and to get a heater and new tank would be too much extra money, as opposed to just getting a new tank and switching the crabs with the fish, right?? lol.

My wife bought me several Insten brand heaters one 200 watt for 8 bucks on hollar app on android

 

[TheMadScientist]

I have used it in my buckets and junk while doing tank cleaning Ive never actually used them in my tanks yet but bough 3 of them as emergency

I got mine used off craigslist. It was a year old and looked brand new. When I set it up, I loosened the top screws with an empty 40b on top so the stand could settle and then applied loctite and tightened all the screws.I also cut a piece of plywood for the bottom for a shelf. There's enough room for a 20l but I have supplies and a canister filter on it. I've had the stand for almost a year now and it's solid. No sway or creaking at all. The stand has adjustable feet so it's really easy to level.

Well most def on my list to buy I have looked at it a bunch just scared as no actual real life reviews I don't believe in the ones online most of the time. I see to many people get people to register just to make good reviews

 

[Jellibeen]

Aww, no 5 gallon? I was hoping to get a 5 gallon as a hospital/quarantine tank. I have a spare 10 but my apartment is tiny, so it'd be nice to be able to set up just a five when I need an extra tank.

I picked up an Aqueon 5.5g from Pet Supplies Plus. It was $11, a bit cheaper than Petco.

I’m not sure if that would work with my stand, see...

It’s more of a rack than a stand I guess.

 

[Letsfish]

I just wish I had of purchased 75 instead of the 55 I have and a 40 instead of the 29.

**48.5" should've been 36.5" (had 75 gallon on the brain)

Looks like the inside length is 40" or so? You could move out the 20L and 5.5 for a 40b. Plywood for the base of the 40b. If the shelf is 16" deep, 1.25" overhang is nothing for 1/2" plywood.

I just wish I had of purchased 75 instead of the 55 I have and a 40 instead of the 29.

I have a 75 gallon and a 40b. I still have my 55 gallon from about 30 yrs ago but the top brace is broken and the silicone was rough so I was going to just buy another 55 gallon but found a 75 gallon with Fluval light and 406 filter (all new) for $200 on craigslist so I jumped on that deal. I found a 40b with 306 filter, stand and a few other stuff for $100. Turned out the tank is a terrarium so I picked up a 40b on the DPG sale ($50).

This sale keeps getting me in trouble. I have a rack of 2 20L and a 10 gallon (QT) on top. I have another rack with a 20T and a 10 gallon under it and another 5.5g on an end table next to the rack. and a 2.6g Fluval Spec. I really need to stop looking at these threads.

 

[NYFishGuy]

Buy'em stack'em, tanks in every room

Got the first rack set up and cycled from the last sale. On going art project

 

[Fanatic]

I am picking up a 20 high on the sale this coming week, very excited

 

[goldface]

I might pick up a 29 gallon at Petland, since it’s close to my apartment, so I won’t have to carry an aquarium through the subway train. I asked the employee if they’ll price match and he said they will. Just an FYI for anyone who doesn’t have a Petco nearby.

 

[mjfromga]

I would like a 75 over my 55 for Mary and my Barbies but I honestly don't feel like having to set up a new tank and tear down the old one. And I already bought something I said I wouldn't so I might get a spare 10 gallon but probably nothing else.

 

[Do0kski]

Does anyone know when they usually have this dollar per gallon sale and where? I hear about it but haven't seen this happen yet. I usually go to petsmart, been a few years but I guess I miss it every time.

 

[AquaticJ]

Well that's your problem, it’s not at Petsmart, its at Petco. Its usually around every 3 months.

It’s Petco that has it, and I believe it’s still going on until the middle of November. Hurry up and take advantage.

 

[Do0kski]

Ahh. The closes petco to me is like 50 miles. I know petsmart will price match them. Maybe I can find something online. I thought persmart does this too..?

 

[dojafish]

Petco doesn't do it in Hawaii, but it's definitely petco. I think it's in-store only though, so idk if petsmart would be able to match it.

 

[coralbandit]

Pets Plus if you have one does a minI dollar per gallon sale also around same time as Petco.
It's been a while since I tracked the sale but oddly enough it always seemed to start right after Christmas.
Every 3 months basically is how they have been.

 

[AquaticJ]

I’ve never seen it at Petsmart , they’ll have good sales on bundles (tank, stand, and light all included), but never have I seen a dollar per gallon sale at any Petsmart.
