yes I was! I went in to look at them and decided against it. Not enough height for me. I was literally walking out the door thinking to myself "wow I am leaving without buying 1 thing"! Then I saw this tank out of the
corner of my eye, where they keep their overstock tanks. They also had a 55g with stand and hood for $160 I think? That one was right next to mine. This was the PetsMart in Minneapolis. The one by my house didn't have any deals and only half of the selection.
I have finished my new pools (I HATE silicone by the way), siliconed some items inside the tank, put up my background, purchased my UTH from retilebasics.com, put in my order for cholla and picked up a cork flat, cork round, netting and reptile vines. I already have a ton of items I can put in for hides and such from my other tanks, so I should be fine there. I bought too much sand and eco when I was doing my 125g build, so I shouldn't need to purchase any more of that either. So the only things left to buy are a hygrometer and maybe another moss pit (the ones I have that are not in use, seem a bit too shallow). My UTH shipped pretty quick last time, so hopefully I will get that this week and I can start! I am trying to go with a more jungle theme, but I never really know what its going to look like until everything is placed.
Does anyone else have a 56g tank? I would love to see pics! I honestly have never looked at this size tank before. Wasn't really aware it existed actually! It's so very different then my 55g, that's for sure! Pretty excited to see how it turns out!
it's a 56g and the tank, stand, lid and some dinky little light strip. It was priced to clear, so I HAD to get it. It was to cheap and perfect to pass up. I think it's the same footprint of a 40g breeder, but much taller. I could be wrong though. 
the little red line on the tank is 7inch, so I can determine how much sub too add. 
seems very useful.
