Default 90 gallons tank prices?

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone could tell me what a fair price for a used 90 gallon tank only,(no acc. or stand) would be?

I'm new to this and am upgrading from a Biocube already!

Thanks

hi, couple things involved, such as type of glass, size/type of over flow(s), and of course condition. starphire tanks being the more pricy option and often being custom built. i know this is a bad comparison being a new tank, but at the last lfs i visited it was $240 for a 90-gallon with one single centred over flow, and regular low-iron glass, no starphire. so for one in used but decent condition i would expect about $100+..? really hard to say, but i hope that helps somewhat....also nice upgrade from a biocube!

Hi,

Thanks for your response! Ya, I realize there are a lot of variables in that question… And that the tank represents a very small portion of the setup cost. Thank said, $100”ish” sounds like the going rate for a used 90. Thanks for your response.

I recently picked up a used 90 with a corner overflow and a glass lid for $100.

$100”ish” sounds like the ballpark
