I need to start thinking about getting a larger tank setup for my alligator snappers. i cant do a outdoor setup because it gets too cold here in the winter. i dont think i am ready to buy a huge (200+gal) fish tank yet, too expensive.. does anyone have any suggestions/ideas what would work as an ideal setup to give my growing monsters more room!

Great pic!! You're A.S.'s are so cute!! They look so prehistoric! There's always the rubbermaid containers... if you wanted to go that route. I'm going to try to buy the glass and build my own soon. It gets really cold here in the winter too, but I think I'm going to build a pond in the backyard just for the summers.... I definitely don't think I could afford to keep it heated enough for Snap to hibernate, but maybe when she's five I will! Course, I'd really miss not having her in the house all winter!!!
