Default Tank Prices Good Deal Or Not?

I am thinking about buying a Brand New 55 gallon aquarium with gravel, lighting, hood, Filter, chemicals, and decerations for 250 dollars is it a Good Deal? Please tell me how big and how much you spent on yours?

I'd say that's pretty good. Especially since it's brand new!
I got a used 20g with hood, filter, food, lid, lighting, and a bunch of medications for $50.

55 gallon is nice too. The bigger the better.

I would assume its a good deal..but I have never bought a new tank. My 90G cost me 200, and another 90g i have cost me 100 both used tanks though. Craigslist in my area always has used 55g aquariums for around 50 bucks.

Sounds okay, I would shop around online classifieds first to get a better deal. I am looking to get a bigger tank as well and that's what I am doing. I have a 10 and 20 G as well as a 1G for my Betta....I would like them all together and have others as sick tanks.

If the stand is included it is a good deal or if you have something strong enough to set it on. I usually have to go with used because of my budget but that price is as good most used prices I see.

Not a bad price new. I saw a used 55 setup with everything at a LFS last weekend for $150.
