Default Tanks

Wow, I priced a 220 gal. setup here, and it was going to be about $1500
for a tank and stand and canopy I think. You should probably not shop
at We gouge you pets.

Not from what I've seen. Freight would run about $400 on a 120g tank,
and it seems to be about half price. $1300 vrs. $2500 (or higher).

There's also a person that builds them from scratch in my area. They
are easily half price the LFS.

I imagine that competition will drive down prices, but LFS here has a
near monopoly.
