Where to buy a new tank - need LFS recommendation

In the market for a new rr tank. Need recommendations on where to go - hit the boulder shops and they dont have much selection. I know I could order ... but would like to just pick one up if I can (today if possible). Anyone know what places have the best selection of tanks? Was thinking I'd try Sherman Tank company ... any other suggestions?
 
Thinking something around a 90 gallon ... if I could find a RR corner tank or cube I would probably go smaller if necessary.
 
I'm actually thinking it might be easier, albeit a bit more expensive, to order something from glass cages. None of the LFS seem to have much selection (at least the ones I've been to)
 
Before you order one I would give a L.F.S. a chance. I know Don's or Animal Attraction would work to earn your business. Not sure about the stores in your area. If you buy local the store owners will work with you to resolve issues. If you go on the internet for everything you will probably not get that extra mile service, and rightly so IMO. Times are tough on the stores right now, and if you don't give them a chance now, they might not be there in the future. That being said if you can get a good deal on a used one. Go for it.
 
I bought a 215 Oceanic from Dons a few months ago and would recommend them. The Denver LFS didn't have a good selection then either.
 
since your in Boulder why don't you try aqua imports. Mike & Tom will help you out, I guarantee any of our sponsors will help.
 
I've hit the two boulder stores and they dont have anything in stock ... I could order from them but my HOPE was to find something I could bring up to the new house in the next couple days and avoid the ordering process altogether. If I have to order, I might as well order from glasscages and get exactly what I want rather than what oceanic/AGA have in their catalog.

Havent tried Dons or Fish Den - I'm in Boulder and ideally would like a place that can deliver (or that isnt too far). I'm moving and dont have time to rent a truck and drive all over with tank etc. Maybe in a couple weeks ...

I dont know. Figures that the one time I'm in search of a tank, no one is selling anything suitable here!!
 
I have a 75 ga rr bow front setup complete. I also just have a 75 BF rr tank only I would sell.

You can just post saying you want a 90 ga RR here and DARC.

Craigs list too.
