I'm looking at a 75ish gallon bow front, but need to see of they will drop in price. Anyone recommend a place to browse some tanks locally?

Honestly . . . I'd check Pisces or Big Al's for sales. I have found that a lot of the tanks on Kijiji are overpriced, there is no guarantee of how old they are (silicone and glass may be reaching the end of their lifespans), there is no warranty, and who knows whether or not medications containing copper have been used in them. It has been alleged that silicone can absorb and leach copper.
If you can find one owned by a serious hobbyist who would candidly discuss a used tank's age and history with you (so you can make a sound decision), that would be ideal. I just don't know how likely it is.
