    Is there any place locally to get an inexpensive custom aquarium? Dont need much, just want built in overflows as I have everything else and am going to build a stand myself. We are going to be moving in the next few months into our own place, and the wife said we might be able to do our upgrade. Looking for either 100-120 gallon depending on price. Dont care about material, just dont want a used glass aquarium. I am going to be buying Dry rock and seeding it with rock from my current DT.

    Thanks trelane. I have been checking out sponsers but with shipping many of them are a bit more than I would like to spend on the tank. cdeboard craigslist is great but most of the tanks in my area are used glass FW aquariums. I just dont trust used glass. Especially FW tanks as they tend to contain copper.

    Our only hope realisticly is in Sacramento. Also, there's a couple people in Tahoe that say they could help with ordering tanks, but when I asked I never got a reply.

    Why not get a Marineland Reef tank?

    How much do they cost. I will not buy one from petco which is about the only retailer near me. Shipping on tanks is outrageous. Especially on a tank that weighs about 150-200lbs. Plus if I can I would like to be able to select where the overflow is located.
