I know you can do this and save some $ on shipping tanks.

Has anyone done this???

Just wondering if prices on the tanks are the same at shows, as when you order directly.

They are gonna bring me a few more monster tanks in febuary,but if the prices are cheaper at the shows,

ill just show up and buy

Either way will be nice to save the money

id probably jsut order some tanks anyways cuz what happens if you get tehre and they dont have the sizes you wanted cuz someone bought it or they didnt bring em?

when i got mine, it wasnt really a show. They were just unloading tanks out of semi truck. Plus i think you need to order in advance i think.

i wanted to get a larger tank in the 150-210 range and i was looking at almost 220 bucks for shipping. i can go to my lfs and get a tank and throw it in the back of my car for less. if u want something from 210 and below i would just go to your lfs and see what their prices. although u can call or email ahead what u want to glasscages and find out if they will have the size that u want at the conventions.

its not a flea market where you go and pick out what you want they only bring what has been ordered.so you will have to order it from them first.

i don't know if i could throw a 180 gal. in my truck, i may need a little help. from what i understand you will need a few friends over and help unless you guys have a fork lift and a dolly.

i had asked them how much shipping was gona be to my house on a order for
180 g tank
top
stand they said it would cost me $250 or for $80 i could pick it up from them when there at one of there shows.

o.k thanks guys.

I bought a 240 long from them, it was 150 to ship, total with tops was like 640$, a very good deal I thought, especially since around here that goes for well over 1000$.

He said for 2 135 gallons,cost would be 500$, plus 80$ for lids.

Normal shipping is 225$, but if I pick it up at the show will be only 50$ instead of 225$.
definitely going to pick them up next month.

this is what i noticed look

125 gal wide 72x24x17 ACRYLIC TANK $300
125 gal wide 72x24x17 GLASS TANK $260

for only $40 more you can get acrylic...cant beat that..
