Glass aquariums are very expensive to ship, so most of us buy fish tanks locally. There are a few companies who do custom jobs and can deliver, but it takes a pretty big tank to justify the shipping (usually 150+ gal).
I'd suggest checking out your local fish store. In Charlotte just a bare 75 gal tank runs around $175, $150 "if ya know somebody"...
The more rural the area the more expensive such things tend to be as sales volumes are lower and shipping is likely to be higher for the store owner.
If your interested in buying used (which I highly suggest considering) then watch your local Craig's List, News Paper, Yard Sales, etc, etc. Also check for a local fish club and see if there are members in your area. We often swap stuff around or know about a good local find. I'm not sure where along the Blue Ridge you are but your welcome to check out Charlotte's fish club site. We have members all over the Carolinas and some up into Virginia.
