I've drilled at least 20 tanks. Never broken one before. Today was just a pleasant treat. Go slow. Don't rush!

pretty sure the 40 breeder is the largest one
Although I would be ****ed if so lol
I think it goes up to 55, or maybe 75? Either way, it's only tanks they have in stock. I'll be picking up at least 3 for my breeding setup. 
I know the petco in Henrietta had plenty of 20 longs this past Sunday. Stay away from my 20 highs though!

I'm pumped about this sale! I'm looking to get a 30 long for a new sump.

I bought my 55 during the last sale. It's like going to the dollar store...
10g tanks are roughly $10 all the time at wal-mart anyways.
Any body know if PetCo does price adjustments? If I buy at full price tomorrow then get a price adjustment Sunday when the sale starts. I was hoping it started tomorrow as I really need a 20L because after Saturday, I have to work 14 straight days and will have zero time to transfer my tank.

That's a great question. I'd love to grab one tomorrow myself but I don't wanna pay double the price by being impatient. Impatience is how I got into this mess in the first place

Exactly what I was hoping to do. I wanted to get my tanks transferred tomorrow!! Maybe I will give them a ring tomorrow and see what their policy is.

Great price, major hassle

Walked into Petco #1 this morning at 10:00 AM. They had three 40B on the shelf. Asked the sales kid if these were the one's on sale. He said, "Yes, but they're on hold." He checked if there were any in back then called another store to see if they had one. He said they were going to hold it for me. Someone snatched up and bought two of them before I left the store. Oops, so much for holding them. The kid still wouldn't let me buy the third.
Walked into Petco #2 at 10:20AM. Whatched a guy wheeling a 40B out of the store. Oops, they forgot to hold it for me. I'm not happy by now, and asked to speak to a manager. The manager called Petco #3, They had 8 in stock... He asked them to hold one and assured me that it wouldn't happen again so away I went.
Called my wife, asked her to call Petco #3 to verify that they had one. She called back, said they had 1 left and they didn't think it would go anywhere. She explained what had happened in the first two stores so they agreed to put my name on it.
Walked into Petco #3 at 11:00AM. Couldn't find the 40B anywhere. By now I'm furious, why did I ask for help at Petco #1, I should have just snatched and ran like the guy after me. Found the sales kid in Fish and asked him if they had one held for me. Finally, someone did what they said. This guy told me "We don't normally hold sales merchandise like this." Nice, you should tell the guy at Petco #1.
Moral of the story. Don't ask, just grab it and walk to the register.
BTW, there aren't anymore 40B within 10 miles of Buffalo but I hear there were 7 left in Batavia. Better hurry...
