55 gallon prices

[robgurr]

i'm looking at buying a 55 gallon, i was just wondering what the prices are like

Petsmart $99.00 USD 55G w/ light. $149.00 55G kit. 189.00 USG 80G w/ light.

Walmart has the same price on the kit and so did Petco.

what about canadian dollars? and with a stand?

 

[enchanted]

Sorry, can't help there. I'm not in canada.

ya its ok our dollar sucks anyway...

Right now, the exchange rate is around 1.27.

Believe it or not, even after taking into account exchange rates, it is still more expensive to buy them from Canada! Just compare the price between bigalsonline.ca vs bigalsonline.com.

I order most of my supplies from US online stores even though Canadian government adds another 15% in tax plus high shipping...

You could be in luck though - supplies & equipments are expensive, but the tank itself seems to be reasonable, if you have access to Big Al's in your city.

I _think_ I saw one 55g tank for under $100CA, and 78g for under $140CA. They are made by Perfecto...
