Kurt, where do you live?
It's usually cost prohibitive to buy a tank online.
You might want to look here as well, maybe find a gently used one you
can pick up at a discount:
craigslist.org (click on your city)
A lot of people get into the hobby, spend a ton of $$, then decide it's
not for them and sell their equiptment at a huge loss, so maybe you can
find someone who's had enough!
A glass tank is a glass tank and unless it's cracked or has a leak
(which you could pretty much tell via a water test) you should be OK
buying a used one.

Garage sales. I got an 80-gal. glass tank with the fake wood edging for 20
bucks. No leaks, no scratches. I think it might have been a divorce sale. And
I find 10-20 gal. tanks cheap all the time.
