Tanks on sale at Petco starting today

Sunnyvale, they had a display in the center with $1/gal sign, and definitely a 40 there. Also one in their tank rack.

i went to the petco on sloat in SF and they didnt even have a sign, i would have asked someone but no one was in the fish section
 
I was told that they might have gotten another small shipment yesterday.. Can anyone confirm this? The 40br in elcerrito was on sale.. I asked the sales person there and she said that the bowfronts were not on sale but the aga corner tank was... I didn't buy one so I don't know how true it was... I was tempted though with the 54g corner tank....
 
I called the Petco in Redwood City and Mountain View and they said they had a new shipment in today. Don't know about the rest. As for the 37 cube tank, I don't believe a lot of the petcos carry them.
 
raddogz, call the one in Gilroy. They might have it. I saw one long time ago. I'm going down there this weekend to pick up a 40G breeder. LMK if you want me to pick up one for you (if they have it).
 
Someone buy a 54g corner tank.. Just like a bowfront but a nice square footprint with that rounded front pane....
 
I saw the add said the $1/gallon goes up to 55 gallons.

I saw today a 40br at petco! I never knew they had such great depth to those tanks! why are they called breeders anyway?

I will be picking one up, either to use as a frag tank or maybe a qt, or something... who knows.
 
They are breeder tanks because they are shallow, apparently!

The 30 is 12 inches tall, the 40 is 16 inches and the 50 is 18. THe 50 is a really nice size.

Not being a fish breeder, I'm not sure the advantage of the shallow tank is.

I had a 40 breeder, then I built a nice canopy for it...then broke the tank :( so I bought an Oceanic 58, because it (and the AGA 65) have the same footprint and there was no way I was going to let all that work go to waste! (I searched for another 40 breeder but couldn't find one, the original was bought off another reefer)

Dude, thats awesome - buy tanks from petco, its way cheaper than the LFS! Maybe then there will only be petcos, not LFS. Think about it.

what dimensions for the 50 breeder? That sounds like a nice height (18").

They're good for breeding due to the larger surface area for more o2 transfer and such.

so which petco has the cube and 20L for sale at the moment?

Don't know about the cube (never saw one). The 54 corner would be a sweet tank... but again do I really fricking need another tank... :) 20L I saw at San Bruno (Tanforan, bought mine there), and saw a bunch on at the one on Bryant.. it's more of a common size than the cube apparently 30 x12 x 12 shallow as hell but damn nice length for stuff so if you stick a seio620 on it you're not going to cause a huge upwelling at the other side.
