>>Where on Earth do you live anyway? I mean, the general area..

YES! Frustrating is the word for this!
I'm in West TX, in the desert. Apparently desert people don't know much about fish aquariums? I don't know.

We don't gauge in-state trips by miles, it's easier to do it by hours. It's a 7-8 hour drive to the DFW area, 6 hours to Austin, 5 to San Antonio, 10-11 to Houston, 7-8 hours to El Paso so....

It'd cost way more than it's worth to try to find a tank in one of these larger cities. It'd cost less money for us to drive the 110 miles to get this one that costs $110.00. That's max only a 2 hour drive, that'd make it 50 cents per mile on the price of the tank for a 220 mile round trip.
Frustrating but we like to go on day trips now & then just for the heck of it. We drove 2 & 1/2 hours in Oct. just to buy lawn statues to attach to our gate columns. We can find lawn statues here but here we don't see the weenie dog, the turtle, rattlesnake & roadrunner statues that we bought.
Here's the turtle one:
