If you can't find any used ones in good shape, Petco has frequent sales at $1.00 per gallon and they typically have 40 breeders available.

I would do Petco for buck per gallon.

Thanks for the suggestions. The only thing that I don't like about the Petco Tanks is that they don't typically have a cross brace which I'd prefer to have... Is that even possible on a 40g breeder? lol

 
 Thanks for the Offer Rich!


 I've checked on Craigslist as well and wasn't able to contact anyone with anything of value...

 I guess just keep your ears peeled and eye's open if you could everyone. thanks! I may consider Petco though. but would love to also find a 4ft 60g Breeder..

Thanks, does it measure 4ft x 18" footprint? I Don't use UGF or need a stand. Will be going under another 60g Breeder tank with a metal stand.

 Same thing for the 40g breeder.

 Yep. I have seen those too. Always under the impression that a breeder tank will be classified by the Shorter and more over all compact design as to bring the colony more on the same level in the water Column... Instead of Being Higher. 

My 65 is essentially 48" X 18"

 Yep, this is what mine is. and it's about 14"-15" tall...

 I was wrong, It's 48" x 18" x 16"

 Yeah that might work. It's 36" x 18" footprint though?

 If it is, and is only 14" tall, that's probably like a 35g... But still okay.

I have a 60 breeder for sale.

Silicone is good, back is painted blue and it has been drilled on the left upper side. It's been capped and holding fish since June.

Just took the fish out last week and it's ready to go.

Let me know if you are interested.

Hey Rob, thanks. I'm looking for one more tank, preferably a 50g Breeder.

 Did you pay $8o each for the tanks?

$40.00 for each tank $1.oo per gallon Petco sale. They get you on the glass lids. Think they were almost $40.oo also. The Petco tanks have no divider .
Still have a 60 ...36 X 18 X 22

Ah yes, they all do don't they. Funny things that the Plastic hinges can be purchased themselves as well having the glass cut for a cheap and DIY them.

Don't want the 60g, But thanks for the offer. the 40gs don't have the divider? I picked up one that doesn't have this eiter and I"m probably going to silicone in a piece of glass that I have from an old one. woul prefer a 50 breeder with a divider.
