Something I've never thought about before was to check out Facebook marketplace (I've only looked through Craigslist up to now). I'm blown away from the selection, like, wow. So many nice PVC enclosures for less than ordering a new one, sometimes even entire stacks of them at a discount, and no waiting half a year for one either.
And if I get a stacked setup then that's setting up for the future.
Going to wait until all my aquarium business is finished (just at the cusp of adding new fish to a quarantine tank I've set up) but definitely going to keep a close eye on the place to see if a good deal pops up within a reasonable driving distance.
That all sounds fascinating .,
