[RandalB]

Hey all,

Anybody have the link for that shop in Wisconsin that has low prices on tanks? I've seen it here before but I can't remember the name...

Thanks for the help,

The owner went bankrupt, they're having a liquidation sale, and the new name is Ocean Dreams or something like it. There are "volunteers" working the phones...they do have some inventory. They're in Oconomowoc, WI...

What's wrong w/ the factory 2nd's??

Not sure what size you're looking for but Petco is having a $1/gal sale.

Jeni, Petco don't carry the size I'm looking for unfortunately thanx for the tip tho....

I think my wholesale guy is jerking me around that's why I'm checking retail pricing.....

Nothing if you're willing to settle for seconds.
Just make sure you look the tank over really good, before you pay for it.

The tanks at Aquaticworld are below wholesale prices, so I would be careful using those as a basis for retail pricing expectations.

By the way, what is a factory second tank? Is that a rebuilt tank from a return to the factory?

Actually, they're not. They look to be about 10-15% over wholesale.

Hmm..That is strange. Every LFS I talked to said that the tanks were under their wholesale, but I guess if that were true then the LFS would buy from Aquaticworld.

Yep.....

Although some of their "specials" are close to being dead on wholesale...

From my understanding, a factory 2nd is a tank that does not meet appearance standards at the factory. Uneven silicone, scratches, etc will make 'em 2nd's
