Thanks, I looked at Tenecor, but it seems a little pricey for me. Probably too fancy--I don't need all the custom stuff. Also, they don't seem to have 30" tall. Anyone else have any other recommendations?

I am interested in getting an acrylic tank, around 50 gallons, 30" tall. Any inexpensive suggestions, or is it best to get my LFS to order (they are okay, price-wise)? Shipping would obviously be an issue. I will probably need a stand as well, but I could get that separately. I am planning...
