The Oceanics have thicker glass and heavier frames than typical aquariums. The 55's have a reinforcing top plate to prevent bowing. They have been cleaned but there are mineral deposits.
They are being offered at $1 a gallon. Discounts available when buying several tanks.
I realize only a few NANFA members live within a convenient driving distance of Knoxville, Tennessee but while attending the Kentucky NANFA convention this May you would only be 1.5 hours away. Before or after the convention they will likely offer a tour of CFI's facility and the aquariums could be picked up then.
Purchase a CFI aquarium, support their work and enjoy a visit at the same time!
