yes that is my zip.
also when i do get a larger aquarium would the best way to transfer every thing be just to take half water out of old tank directly siphoned to the new tank with fish out,then transfer gravel and add new same with plants and all,then fill up the rest, by doing this i dont think i would have to wait again for cycling maybe a day for the bacteria to settle.

you don't rally have to transfer the water, but if you don't want to go through another cycle, transfer all your gravel and filter material to the new tank. while doing this make sure that the substrate/ filter material stay submerged in tank water from donor tank

I also find good deals on fishtanks in the Want Ad I don't know if there is one where you live but you can get them anywhere they sell newspapers. I just scored a 55gal for a friend of mine who fell in love with the one I got for my hubby (I got mine for a steal only $50.00 but had to drive a good distance to pick it up) and found the one for my friend right in my city for cheap money as well hers is only 50 gal and she paid $75.00 still not bad at all considering both tanks came all setup I changed the rocks and added new filters then cycled the tank a few days and we are good to go...so if you just be patient and ask around you will find something you like. Good Luck!
