Idk where to put this but ill ask
I head a lot of people not like glass cages so is there any other places to buy 200 gallon or more aquariums. Online since my. Lfs is over priced. Wanting a 150 gallon for 2000 and its just a glass aquarium

Perhaps you should day where you're located. Buying elsewhere than your LFS may sound less expensive at first, but then when you find out how expensive freight charges have become in the last few years your LFS's offer might not be so bad.

Also, check around your neighbourhood for tanks for sale. There's always someone trying to get out of the hobby and selling their tank cheap just to get it out of the house. If you and some friends can drive and pick up a tank yourself that can also save you a lot, but it really depends on your location vs. the seller's location and the resources you have to hand.

The thing is my lfs only offer 1 100 gallon and 150 gallon they want me to put in my truck and that's it for 2k I'm like wut my town is small and most people that dabble in tanks are the 10-30 gallon I'm looking for a few hundred gallons

Deep Sea Aquatics sells a 200 (I have one) free delivery through fishtanksdirect.com. Make sure to have some people around when it's delivered if you go that route, the tank alone is 350lbs.

I got mine through a LFS, but you can get them delivered.

Marine Land has larger tanks. If your LFS is a MarineLand dealer they can order it.

If I had it to do again I would get a 265 with 6x 2" with a single center mount overflow box. Or just custom make a overflow on the back.

I bought a glass cages 380gallon tank and have no issues. The glue workmanship may not be as crisp as other vendors but it is solid.
