Fish Addict
According to PetEducation.com, BMs will get to be about 10".
Where do you live? I'm surprised bare tanks cost that much.
Regarding LFS/LPSs. I prefer privately own LFS/LPSs. I often visit them to get more familiar with the owner. Even though I don't buy many things, I try to just examine there fish once in awhile and their maintenance. If I visit on a Monday and notice a diseased or dead fish, then come back either Tuesday or even by Friday and stil notice the diseased or dead fish is there, then I would try to avoid that place. Before doing so, I would notify the owner of what I saw. I like to give them another chance and come back maybe a few weeks or months later to see if I can spot the same problems.
I don't like going to major LFS/LPSs, since most of the employees are high school/college students wanting to earn some extra cash. I doubt that all of them have the experience of a serious fish keeper. I doubt that even a few have kept any fish.
You could probably look in the classifieds about people selling fish tanks.
