Looking into upgrading tank size, where to get large tank?

[saltyfishdude]

I am going to be moving in 3 to 6 months into a larger place and into someplace with a first floor so I will not have to worry about weight issues regardless of the tank I choose. I am planning on something around 260 - 300 or so. I will be converting my 100 gallon reef tank into my sump / refugium by adding baffle walls and dividers.

My question to all you medium to large home reef owners is, where did you buy and/or order your tank, what size is it, how much did it cost and was it shipped to you and for how much?

Please post some replies, the more the better. I have been planning this for about 3 months already, and it is now time to start seriously looking into a reputable company to build my custom tank....................

Please help me with this.......................Neal in Grover Beach, CA :?:

I'm in California too. I got my tank shipped from Aquarium Obsessed in Canada (www.aquariumobsessed.com). Seems crazy to have it come this far, but the shipping was very cheap. IIRC, something like $300 for truck freight. I think my tank was about $1200-1300 for a 52x28x28 with starphire.

In California, you can also consider LeeMar. They have local dealerships, so ask around various LFS. My previous tank was LeeMar, and it was a fine tank. They're priced very reasonably too. In hindsight, I should've just gotten another LeeMar Aquarium Obsessed's tank is great, but I think LeeMar would've been a little cheaper. I liked how my AO tank was delivered to my door though (you would have to make arrangements with your LFS for LeeMar tanks).

Oh .... :welcome: 8)
