    I'm new to the area, and I'm trying to locate a 180 gallon for upgrading my reef. I'm on a budget, so it needs to be somewhat inexpensive. Any suggestions on where to find one?

    I would look on Craigslist before going to any LFS, Usually they price high.

    WOW! Please let me know if you see any good deals like that one. That's a steal.

    Craigslist is great for tanks and post some wanted ads on all the local forums

    Craigslist is the only cheap method unless you have a friend of a LFS having some liquidation sales maybe.

    I'm still hunting for this. I thought I had found one, but no dice. I'm thinking I might try to find someone who makes them. Ideas?

    I know N00ZE just ordered a tank from them.

    I got kind of lucky because one of my LFS's just moved to the other side of the plaza that they're in, but they kept the old place just to sell used stuff ;D We'll see how that goes.

    Craigslist FTW, backpages too. And/or any aquarium stores that are closing/moving
