Physh1 Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Well, UPS did it again. They broke another tank so now I need a new one. Who has the best deal on these tanks? Thanks, Cameron Link to comment
RedSkaNite Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Kinda hard to buy glass tanks online, stores hate to ship glass. Try the Local pet stores for the best price. I saw them around here for 59 the other day. Petsmart, I think. Link to comment
Doe5ia14 Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 The local fish stores should have some for fairly cheap. Comparable to online stores. I got mine at Petsmart for $59.99 Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Premium Aquatics used to sell them online...but I'm not sure if they still do or not. Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 what happened to your old 7 gallon? or are you just setting up a new one? well either way are there no stores in ok? man i wish you were here to drill a 20 gallon for me. im kinda scared to do it. Link to comment
Physh1 Posted August 29, 2002 Author Share Posted August 29, 2002 Thanks guys. I will end up finding a store here somewhere but I thought I check the MO circuit first. Thanks Eric> Yeah, drilling for the first time is kinda strange feeling. When/If you do it just remember high steady drill RPM and slow straight cuts into the tank. This will keep the plexi heat down (no melting!!!) and make a clean smooth cut. Cameron Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 thanks man...have you ever done glass? i kinda want a glass tank but noone will drill it so i think im gonna go with plexi but maybe ill have ken help me out too. i know he has done his fair share of drilling tanks Link to comment
Physh1 Posted August 29, 2002 Author Share Posted August 29, 2002 Small glass tanks are pretty much impossible to drill safely or reliably. I'd go plexi for sure. The have drilled glass before and it sucked a$$. Really expensive bits and hard to do. Cameron Link to comment
Mnesarchus Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Why would you order a tank online? Just go to your dealer and buy one, you wont have to pay shipping. Link to comment
Physh1 Posted August 30, 2002 Author Share Posted August 30, 2002 I'm pretty out of the way from any fosh stores. It is at least an hour to get to one and they don't carry AGA. I probably have a 2 hour drive to find an AGA dealer. Cameron Link to comment
