Where to get reef ready tanks?

Antics · Oct 1, 2016

When you called for quotes you didn't tell them the FishTankDirect price did you?

Have you checked the for sale listings on dfwmas.org? It's the Dallas fort worth marine aquarium society.

@cmcoker Yes I have.
More information received today... Got a sheet that you all can look at. This was definitely out of my range!

Drill and install a ghost style overflow on yours. Better than a "reef ready" tank and much cheaper since you already have one.

I would but it's tempered.

It's official I'm getting a Aqueon mega overflow tank

I can't wait! For anyone who wants to see my progress, I am going to start a build page for the tank. I have a whole bunch of things I have learned in the last 2 years of having a tank that I couldn't do. Now I can!

I will!

So happy! I just got the equipment from a craigslist seller and got around 1.8K of equipment for $525! Had a great time bargaining. I will post what I got in my build forum tomorrow after I pick it up.
