What would be a typical price to pay for a new 90g tank with built in overflow? Also, any good spots in SoCal area that have good tank selection?

I can get a 90 gallon Marineland or Aqueon for $400 from my LFS.

This is better asked in our local SoCal RC forum:http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=50

As long as it has water in it and is not leaking a tank really does not age very much. Silicone reacts with nothing and neither does glass. Not much advantage to buying new and infinitely more expensive. I often see full system w. plumbing, sump/pump and skimmer but without livestock go for under 500 on craigs list.

I paid $295 for a brand new reef ready 90 Marineland from my LFS. They had it marked at $315 and knocked $20 off it for me.

Craigslist.

I bought my 160, with 50 gallon sump, euro reef skimmer, 100 lbs of live rock with corals on it, stand.... 450.

Always someone getting out in a hurry to sell.

If not, wait until petco has the $1 a gallon sale.

I don't believe Petco sells anything over 75 for $1 gallon sale

Go to pet supplies plus. I got my 125 reef ready for like $400. I would imagine a 90 would be half that price then.

When I was looking at new, they were around 300. But I got a much better deal on an established aquarium.
They guy I bought from had about 90% of the things I wanted in regard to equipment.

Got lucky.

Man, some of you get killed on this stuff (not on Craigslist). I paid $265 for my pre-drilled 90g Aqueon last year at my LFS.
