Default Building a tank...

Last time I looked, Hagen's 120g was $398cdn and their 130g was $432cdn
(regular prices), but this is just for the glass box. Canada's other
manufacturer (Perfecto) also makes large tanks and is priced similarly (or
lower typically).

Put them in a conventional stand with canopy & lights and you're typically
around $1,000. I've sold them with a filter system, gravel, stand, canopy &
lights for $1,000 but it was just a $200 open metal stand. I think US
prices are comparable (they have at least 2 high volume retail
manufacturers), and many low volume or commercial builders.

With a nice stand, and a lighting, filter and gravel upgrade, you can hit
$2,000 easy (more if you go with the matching red-oak stand & cap on an
Oceanic ;~).

1500-$2000?????? Where are you shopping? I have picked up numerous
100gallon setups for under $600. Including stands & canopies. I am in the
Toronto area.

A 100G tank here cost
anywhere from $1500-2000, ............

=====================
Borrow someone's van or pickup truck and head for the States. Have the
closest pet shop near the boarder have the tank ready to go. That
should be a heck of a lot cheaper than buying it in ca, even including
gas and maybe staying at an overnight flea bag hotel. :-))
