I'm going to call when they open in 45 minutes. I don't need another tank, but I'd love a 6 or 14 gallon cube for a plant/snail only tank.

It was the exact same way when we bred reptiles before breeding ourselves. I don't NEED another female Mojave ball python, but... And in my younger "rock star" days: I don't NEED another guitar, but...

But our daughter loves her snails. I setup a little 1.5ish gallon $0.50 thrift store tank for her recently for her snails and plants she found in. It's pretty ghetto, but it holds water and the filter works. For $6, I could upgrade it significantly and I have everything else needed on hand including wood to build a stand for it.

Edit: I wonder what would happen if I got the 14g and put a 40g filter in it, since I have an extra one. It would probably be the clearest tank we own if it didn't blow everything away.

I saw this post and within 2 hours I had a 29 and a 20 long in my trunk
 
Finally. I am moving and I most likely will move all my tanks. I can get a 40g and combine 3 so I'll have a freshwater and a saltwater.
 
So stoked. I got a 20 long and went to my junk closet to figure out lighting and realized 20 long has same footprint as 29gal and I had 29gal hood w led light laying around. Not top notch but will be perfect for shrimp. 29 on top with finnex 24/7

We ended up driving over an hour to our closest PetCo. Their selection was poor (a couple of 10s, two 29s and a 75 that was 20% off) and they didn't honor the ones they advertised for our store as being included despite having them (bait and switch).

So we went across the street to our favorite LFS, bought some silk plants, some food for our baby convicts and a pair of electric blue acaras for my wife's 40B.

Don't be sorry. I'm not broken up. We've got enough tanks right now and our LFS has the $1/gal sale every year as well and does ALL tanks, even those sweet bowfronts we drool over everytime we're there.
 
So glad to see that people are buying more and more tanks! I picked up a 20 gallon at my LFS yesterday (tank #5), and I feel like I have a hoarding issue! Listening to you guys I believe I may be alright!!
 
I wish I could get another 20 or bigger tank, but Mrs. Ghostdawg won't allow it. I already got a 20g long in May and switched everything from the 10g to the 20g. When I told her I want to setup the 10g again, she started barking. We do live in a small apartment was planning to move around May/June but C-19 put it on hold until this fall or next spring. So I need to find room to setup the 10g in the meantime!
 
Petco's dollar per gallon is back, until 8/22/20 anyone with a pals rewards card can walk in and grab what tanks they are looking for.
10-29g are dollar per gallon
40-90g are 50% off (40g is 50, 55g is 70, 75g is 100, 90g is 200)

Frameless, rimless, and edgelit tanks are also 50% off, they go from 1-6 g for edgelit, 11-30g for frameless (even a 14g cube), and 2.5-10 gallon for rimless.
 
Do you know what the sale prices are for any of the frameless/rimless tan? Having trouble finding actual prices online.

I also saw this! It won’t have the price online cuz not all stores carry them. Idk what’s going on. I found them when I downloaded the app. The rimless tanks are as follows: 21 gallon frameless is $39.99. 30 gallon is $64.99. 11 gallon is $24.99. (These are the aqueon frameless tanks). They also sell a 10g rimless with a bottom rim for $19.99

Ooh - might need to get a tank. I like the look. Don’t know where to put it, though.

Literally me. I have too many tanks to get another rimless one but I do need a few 20g longs to consolidate my betta.
 
Are you seeing prices for the frameless cube? I’m only seeing them for the 1-gallon size, which is not the one I want.

I believe the 3 gallon is 25$ (edgelit, so the regular should be a little cheaper but 3g are hard to find right now, my local one doesn't even have the edgelit ones) then 6g should be 30-40 with the half price.
 
Took advantage of it to pick up another 20L prior to a move to try to make life a bit easier on myself.

It varies by store. Also, not all stores are honoring it (ours isn't). Your best bet is to call or go in to your local store.
 
In case anyone needs/wants another tank.


Woops, I searched to make sure there wasn't a post (was sort of surprised I didnt see any initially)
Thanks for the merge!

I was at Petco today and I believe they have the $1 per gal. sale. I saw some 75g tanks for $99. That's not a bad price? I wish I able to get one but my place is too small and it's probably too much work for me!
 
So I know the dollar per gallon sale is off, but was just poking on petco's site and in my area at least I'm seeing this (though inventory is crazy and only a few stores has stuff). Maybe the sale wasnt as good as they hoped? Many of these are MUCH better than the $1/gallon!!!

Oh also saw the glass tops cheap.
 
Hopefully someone can snag these up— none available at my local stores. Doesn’t seem to have shipping available either. I’d been looking for a new tank, would be nice at these prices
 
Yeah. There some I’d snag might be stopping by after work tomorrow.
 
Might have to do the online order/store pickup for those prices though. Petco is tricksy like that.
 
Yeah looks to be the case from what I can tell. Some of the ones I want are low inventory it says so won’t let me order.
 
Wow, this is a great sale. I just put together a 20g long a few months ago. I wish they would have had it then. I really do not have room for another tank or two.
 
I have 2 tanks i am trying to find room/gather equipment for so i am still going to pass. Of course, one of those tanks is a 10g i picked up during the $1/gal sale lol
 
Wow thanks this is a great deal! I ordered online for in store pickup tomorrow since they are currently closed. We’ll see how this works out! I couldn’t pass up the deal to upgrade my 20 long to a 29! My partner may kill me for bringing home more tanks that I have no plan or room for at the moment.

I just upgraded to a 40g but man wish I would've waited a month haha. Would love to get a 75 to store for one day haha
 
I may have to see if they have a 40B lid nearby. Mine doesn't fit right, and I have to wiggle it in place every time. May look at a few 10's to have around for growing out some plants.
 
Ten gallon tank for seven bucks? Count me in! Thanks for sharing!
 
Just bought a 29 for my fry a week ago. I wish this was going on then, I would have gotten a 40.
 
Well as of this morning looks like the deals are gone, now they don't show anything or a way to order them Grats on those that got them. I wanted to order a few 20s, but missed out.

It may be worth calling one or two of your local stores. I picked up a 20 long a couple weeks ago on a similar sale (though not quite as good!) and the website said my local stores were all out of stock and wouldn't let me online order for pickup, but I called the store and found they actually had them in stock, and I got them at the advertised price. Couldn't hurt to call, worst they can say is no!
 
No way! Those ARE good deals for tanks. Just an FYI though, I wouldn't buy ANY of their livestock. Last time I went there, one died on the 5 minute trip home and rest of plants and fish died within a day or so. No refund was issued either. They're on my naughty list.

The Petco's in my town are way better than that. I don't know about the farthest one so much anymore...but the one i go to those guys do right by their fish. But those particular deals all the site told me was "prices not available in your area".

Unfortunately those deals are done/gone now.

I've gotten fish from petco before and never really had a lot of major issues. I'm less of a fan though to get from a big box like that anymore for things like that, I'd rather support the LFSs I have whenever I can.
