We are moving in 6 months into a house and I'm looking to expanding my tank. Currently I have a standard 55 gal and I'm looking to go for at least 125 g, but preferably to something like 180 gal. What's the best approach to find a decently priced 180 gal tank? I know that it could probably be ordered through Big Al's but I imagine it'll cost an arm and leg.

Do you know if there is any other alternative? Where do you guys and gals get large tanks from?

If you haven't noticed it yet, you may check out my ad in the classified ads here in this forum. If you are looking for a new tank, Big Als offers decent value for dry goods.

If you're willing to drive to Toronto, NAFB (north american fish breeders) do custom tank builds for extremely reasonable prices.

North American Fish Breeders, 2260 Kingston Rd, Scarborough, Ontario, M1N 1T9, phone 416-267-7252.

I'm not sure if they have a website, but all accounts I've read have been extremely positive.
