Go on Sunday and talk to SCA. Bring a truck, they will sell you a complete set up for about half of their normal price for one of the setups they have there. He offered me a crazy good deal on a 66g at RAP, I didn't have a way to get it home, so I had to pass on it. Emailed them a few months later and asked them if the deal was still good, he said sure. I wound up getting the 66g for $300, and the sump for $80. Pretty sure they kick down like this for anyone who asks. Last year at MAX he offered a 150g setup to my friend on the last day for $650.

I bought one at rap From my boy John from advance acrylics. In my opinion rap for tanks, if you like acrylic. Got it dirt cheap. I try to go to all the shows and have seen the best at Rap.

They are only selling floor models and placing orders for discounts. My brother bought the 125g cadlights floor model today ( have to pick it up tomorrow). Max was slow today...

CADlights had a deal on a nearly turnkey 42g for $470 (I think it is their Nuvo). Tank, stand, sump, ATO, pump & I think skimmer - no light)

I was told that Crystal Dynamics bought Lee Mar and will be continuing tank production with similar and possibly better quality under a new label.
I talked with Crystal Dynamics too. Nothing too special and their silicone was pretty sloppy.

I picked up a frag tank that I had Precision Aquariums build. They did a great job - definitely worth stopping by their booth to see their tanks & stands. Their mitered corners are a cool touch!

I noticed those edges on the tanks today! I wonder if it has any effect on the joint...

I asked that same question. They said that it gives additional surface area, so that means more silicone, which theoretically should mean a stronger joint. Such clean, polished & beveled edges too..
