Above 30", tank lengths that measure an even number of feet in length are best. ;D

The situations I get my self into LOL

That's when you take a 20H & stick it sideways on the end. ;)

Post by: djlamonica on January 21, 2013, 06:06:57 PM: I was just talking to some one about trying to find a 5' tank to replace my 90g I think there a perfect size. 6' seems to big for a lot of the walls in my home with closets and other storage and 4' well there only 4'. Unfortunately I don't have money right now which can be a probably when trying to buy things.

Post by: danielratti on January 21, 2013, 07:19:00 PM: 5's up here are not too uncommon for me to hear about. A buddy of mine has a 5ft 150 he paid maybe 1000 bucks for new with overflows. We are also getting 1 or 2 5 ft tanks into the store that will be glass tanks so it will be cheaper. It all depends on what sizes we are going to get one is going to be a 130 or something weird like that. There are also a couple 7 ft tanks I know of as well.
