i am in the market for a 135-150gallon freshwater setup. i was wondering what do tanks this size go for. also which stores have the best prices on tanks this size. i am looking for a all glass aquarium...they are much cheaper than acrylic right?

your comments are welcomed...thanx

J&L and King Ed have the best prices on tanks.

Check the buy and sell. You can usually get a complete set up for a fraction of the price.

They are right across Lougheed from Production sky train station. There is a mini mall type thing with a hot tub store that seems to be the big one there.

$400+
King Ed sells 5ft 108s for $399, why not give them a phone call.

damn 400 for a 100gal. that price must be for a plexi tank right. sorry for the confusion but this is going to be a all glass freshwater ziare blue frontosa tank.

someone told me king egs sells a 150 gal seastar brand tank for less than 400. does that sound about right?

Nope, doesn't sound right at all. My 155g seastar wholesale was a fair bit more than that. They retail on the Island for about $700 that size. I have seen a 135g retail for 399. Plexi is way more money in that size range.

Yeah when you consider a 90 gallon is $200 the extra length etc really increases the cost. Heck even a reef ready 120 is $600, and that's only 6 inches more (front to back) than a 90.

You may want to just stick with a 90, OR go for a 108/105 anyway give them a call they can give you the prices.
