Anyplace online carry reef ready tanks. I dont really see anyplace you can order oceanic reef ready tanks. DFS carries Perfecto Aquarium but I dont know much about them.

Does this rig sound ok

I would never spend that on an aquarum. Check craigslist or ebay and you can find some great deals. I recently bought a 75 gallon stand, hood, wet/dry filter w/pump, 80 pounds of base rock, cleaning supplies, testing equipment and two lights (no good to me). FOR $300!! I restained it for $20 and looks great. I now have four fish $140, 22 pieces of coral around $500, 50lbs of live rock $200. 520 W of light $250.

Total: $1410

....you get the idea

buying a tank online = insane shipping prices.

Its a super-large item to ship. You'll save lots of money goin local

The only time having a tank shipped makes sense is when it is custom. Your location says you live in MA and there are a couple big cities there. Try calling some fish stores and asking if they deliver (most do) tanks if you have no way of getting it home yourself.

Ducati, call Skiptons, Tropic Isle, Rumford Pets, etc. I'm sure someone can order you a tank. There may even be one for sale on Bostonreefers.org
