Looking for a 40 long, can be glass or acrylic, baffled or not, new or used.

Give me a good price. Thanks!

You could use a rubbermaid tub from wal-mart? I got mine for $6.97.

Its not going to be under the tank and im going to use the fuge as another 'DT' to a degree, so i want it to be nice.

Im looking at a friends 75gal that is already baffled, but its prob going to be too big. 40 long is going to be perfect for me, so trying my luck... LFS wants 105 for one new, screw that. If i dont find one in a few days, im going to just do the 75

Your sump can never be too big. Some peoples sumps are larger than their display tanks. Trust me, the larger your sump, the better off in the long run you will be.

It can if you don't have the space for it!

Yep thats my problem, its already going in another room, just dont want to turn that room into a fish room.. 40 long would be perfect, but i would settle for a 55, 40 reg or 29.
