$1/Gallon sales???
« on: January 19, 2012, 20:10:50 »
Anyone know if any of the local stores still do the $1/Gallon sales? it's been some time since I have seen one.

There has been some spot sales, but it's been on a by store basis.   If you are buying more than one tank, sometimes you can negotiate.

What size of tank are you thinking about?
90g SPS and LPS reef tank, 35g sump, ceramic rock by The Alternative Reef, Neptune Apex w 2 X EB8's, Moonlight module, ATI Sunpower Dimmable 8 X 39W T5's, Octopus Extreme 160 skimmer, PM Kalkwasser Reactor, 2 X Vortech MP40's, Geo 618 Ca reactor


Various thriving montipora, acropora, stylopora, wellsophyllia, blastomussa, hammer, anchor, and frogspawn, lobophyllia, rhizotrychus, pavona, scroll, and pagoda SPS and LPS corals, but no fish because I was too stupid to QT...

For the stores a breeder size is almost always a special order.   But When I ordered 3, I negotiated a better deal

yeah that's what I was afraid of... but a buddy of mine got one at the buck as gallon sale... but it was a few years back... and though they had one on sale, I have a feeling it wasn't supposed to be there.

I know that Petsmart in Beavercreek carries 40 breeders. Haven't seen them on sale in a long time

Well I would love a 250 gallon tank, however.... Most these dollar sales top out at the 55-75 gallon tank range, so I am banished to Used when it comes to the larger tanks rofl.

Maaaaaaaaaaaaybe.... Bought it just before I got laid off.  So I never got to set it up.  I was selling it for $400 for the tank, stand, and canopy.  I got the tank from Joe Ayers a few years ago.  I just need it out of the house and get someone to set the thing up.

4'x4'x2' LxWxH

It is a corner tank as it is setup to be visible on two sides.  One side has a full length overflow (setup for a bean animal I think), and the other side is setup for a closed loop.

Here are the pics that Joe took of it when it was setup.  I can take more with my phone when I get home.  Check PM's as I have responded with info.
