Default Cheapest place for a 90 g tank

Getting ready for a big upgrade to my tank that will end up over 200 gallons so I want to get the sump ready first , I am looking for some cheaper alternatives to getting a custom sump built (concept quoted me a price and they are more than a fair price I just am tired of spending money lol) anyway is there any cheap tanks to be had out there that you guys know of ?

Lol Titus

As for dimensions I have quite a bit of room but would like to keep it under 24 x 48 , I have a separate room for the sump not just under the tank

I don't really like the black plastic look although I do know it would work good

I have a 6 foot 155 gallon sump if you want it! Nice and cheap for you. I also have a standard dimension 90 gallon you could make into a sump. Shoot me a PM if you'd be interested.

Actually, UFA sells it in a blue. Here's the one I got a couple of weeks ago from UFA.

Kein actually we were going to buy one of those as a tank to hold our live rock we just bought I ended up having an outdoor pond tub that I used and is set up in the middle of the basement floor ...hopefully it doesn't leak , but those tubs just don't fit the space we have well
