Keep your eye out for those $1/gallon sales at Petco/PetSmart.

I bet they'll have one after Christmas. Maybe a cheap one will pop up on here soon too.

Your son is too cute with the crabs btw!

Lol he is, thank you!
The gallon sale is how I got my 20 gallon upgraded from my 10 gallon. It was my understanding that those 2 sizes were the only ones in that sale though? I may have to look again! Thanks soo much!

Ah maybe it is. Darn.

I got my 40 gal breeder for my fish for a $1/gal, but I got it at That Fish Place in Lancaster a few years back.

I bought all my tanks on sale. I think I paid 100 for my 75 but it normally sells for 200 at petco or pet smart, I can hardly keep them apart.

I’ve been keeping an eye on the sales at petco and petsmart. Also watching craigslist just in case...although that is not really something I’m too happy about doing because...well...it’s craigslist!
Hopefully everything works out okay. Thank you for replying moe!

Petco and PetSmart generally limit their $1 a gallon sales to 10 - 40 gallon tanks. I'm still dreaming of walking into a sale and picking up a 250 gallon tank for $250!

I didn’t see a 40 on sale when I went and I checked online. I will definitely be keeping my eye out, thanks for that tidbit of info. I’m on a hunt haha!

I've never had problems with 'Impulse Buying'... They're just animals/plants I forgot I had planned to purchase.

Thats really been my fault. Start of covid and lockdown left my course at uni converting to online. While I don't want to start a massive pity thread, it left me focusing on my priorities.
I really should start it back up again, so that was a serious good kick in the butt to do so!

I think I can only add you through Facebook? I don't even remember how JJ and I got access together, but the dashboard is saying it's controlled by the FB business platform.
