I am thinking of getting a aquarium, at least 50 gallons. Are their any
places to get good deals on aquariums? Also, with a average room temp
of 80, what kind of chiller would be needed to have a temp of 60 in the
aquarium? How much would this cost?

What kind of fish are you planning to keep? Certainly not tropicals.

I have bought all of my tanks through eBay. I drove 600 miles to pick
one up, but the others were delivered by UPS. The prices were good
even with shipping and most of the tanks came with extras that were
useful such as a gravel cleaner with a 50 foot hose.

I bought my tank at Petland Discounts for 69.00. Not bad for a 55 gallon
tank made by All Glass Aquariums.
Then you can buy the heater/filter/etc. that you want. Try Bigalsonline for
accessories.
