I understand you don't want to spend a fortune on a tank -no one does. This is a hobby after all and hobbies take discretionary income.

HOWEVER.....this thing is going to hold over ONE HUNDERD GALLONS of salt water in your house. Try this....take a ONE gallon milk jug, fill it with tap water and randomly toss it somewhere in the room you plan to put that tank -that is literally a drop in the bucket of what the scene will be if your tank fails.

Does this mean that if you pay less the tank will fail with water all over ? Certainly not -but would you take the chance ? The tank is like a crash helmet for a race driver; it's the ONE thing you don't cheap on !!
