where to find a 37 gallon aquarium

[bedowyn]

Very basic beginner question... acquiring the box itself.

I am registering for wedding gifts and we have decided to do our first large aquarium. (My first in a long time).

We have a Marineland Eclipse 3 Hood, and are looking for a 37 gallon tank. Does anyone know somewhere on the internet OR in a national chain that such an aquarium might be available? Acrylic would be better than glass, but either would do.

Thanks!

why are you so set on 37G? that seems like such an odd size.. why not a 30G, 46G or a 55G?

seastar, its beacuse of the marineland hood (which i believe are a POS)! only fits 30"tanks i believe so hes limited to really 29gals, or 37.

cheers

37 is a nice size for angels, they really like the vertical swimming space...

Anyplace that sells All-Glass brand should be able to get one for you.

I've seen them at the petSmart near me many times. I have a 37gal. but I bought mine used w/stand.


The "Eclipse 3 hood" is the reason to seek out a 37gal. (although I'd imaggine it would fit a 29gal. & a 20 long as well.... ?)

You should be able to have them order one for you at any LFS or chain store...

I see those sizes at my petsmart all the time.

It never hurts to try craigslist.com in your city -- you might luck out and find someone trying to get rid of theirs for really cheap. If you do decide to go there, search for "fish tank" in addition to searching for "aquarium". Of course, I hear there can be significant drawbacks to getting a used tank, but I got my 29 gallon used (with a hood and light) for only $40 and haven't had a problem.

Good luck finding something.

The Eclipse III hood fits any 30" long aquarium...so standard sizes would be 20-long, 29-reg, or 37-reg. The hood's filter is only rated at 250-gph though, so it may be better to get something smaller than 37-gal.

PetSmart also carries a 30-gal SeaClear Acrylic aquarium that specifically fits the Eclipse III hood.

I'm guessing you want a new tank, since you're registering for wedding gifts. Otherwise, you could go with used...but if it's a gift, then new!
