  1. www.ebay.com

    they are quite cheep on there or try

    www.freeads.net look up under fish accessories

    hope this helps u out and good luck  


  2. Try craigslist, maybe petco or pet smart..I got a 55 gallon kit from wal*mart for I want to say 159.00  but total invested in my tank is enough for a down payment in for a house.

  3. check the classifieds section in your news paper, we were able to buy a 55 gallon tank, stand, 70gal filter, and gravel for 80$ ;)

  4. two words for you - craigs list.

    People are forever trying to sell old tanks because of moving, old stuff in garage, etc.

    Some real good deals there.  

  5. Petsmart or Petco. I agree with answer #1 the price is not right for a brand new used kit. You might try something used.  

  6. I am in agreement with Jer but I will tell you the Petco is going to have a dollar per gallon sale soon. So if you want to check that out then you can at least get the tank itself for a steal at 40-55 dollars. That will leave you with 75-60 dollars for everything else.

    You will probably have to shop Craig's list and the like to get the equipment you need for a tank that size for that price range. I have a 55g that I bought for $88 a few months ago which included the top with lights. Then I bought a used stand for $25 and fixed it up. The gravel I paid about $15 for a 25lbs bag and I needed 90lbs. The filters I bought one was roughly $25 and the other $35. Its a coldwater tank so no need for a heater and I got the rocks plants and fish out of the river for a biotope themed tank.

    Total cost of my 55g is $233.  

  7. Most pet store chains: petsmart, petco, etc. will sell a bundle kit like you are talking about.  That price is probably not realistic for all new gear.  Maybe try ebay or craigslist to find some used equipment.
