Hey folks
So, I'll make this as short as possible.
I have a 40 breeder with 2 somewhat new clowns, a yellow watchman and his tiger pistol compadre, a pencil urchin, a peppermint shrimp, some snails, and an emerald crab (that I just saw for the first time in months). The tank only has a hob filter and I don't think it's able to keep up anymore, despite being properly sized. I'd like to upgrade their home to something larger with a sump, even if just by a bit, but I'm finding procuring a tank in my state to be quite annoying.
I'm in Southwestern Ohio, and the only shop near me that will order the tank I want, the 65 Seapora, wants to add $160+ tax to the msrp. It'll put me wrong $500 for a ~$330 tank elsewhere. I've looked at other stores online, which most won't ship understandably, but am only finding $2k+ sets. I only need a tank that's predrilled, preferably. I'm not sure what other options I have at the moment, other than just not upgrading.
I guess what I'm getting at, is if anyone is in, roughly, the same area as myself and knows of a store I could use or someone selling (facebook and craigslist have nothing within 150 miles), please let me know. Everyone has gotten a little cramped it seems and is like to give them more space and better filtration.
Sorry if this is in the wrong section or seems like a rant. I'm just at a loss of what to do and feel like I'm hitting a brick wall.
