Im actually in Lancaster/Palmdale area but LA is just easier to say to most people lol. Im going to check out some LFS this weekend to things out.
Is there a 75 gallon that you would recommend ?

As the guy pushing DIY I would say a standard 75 gallon is 4ft long. Drill with an overflow to a 30 gallon or 40 breeder sump and your set. Dollar a gallon sale would get those aquariums for under 150. You can also find that setup pretty common on Craigslist or Facebook marketplace.

New, most complete setups at 4 ft would usually be in the 90 gallon range. But there are tons of options.

This is deffiently something im going to look into. I like the idea of dropping more money into a complete setup but the DIY part of me says this would leave money for other projects lol

Do yourself a favor, don’t check out the one in Lancaster, very high priced, not clean tanks. Go over the hill and check some out. You’re better prices are online.

I think I know what store you talking about. There is one in Lancaster that is HORRIBLE. Bad service, dirty tanks, and way overpriced. There is a couple other small ones that aren't bad though.
My plan was to check out the ones over the hill. I know a few that are super far from me.
