8ft Tank

[SKISWETPETS]

After reading the thread earlier with the 8ft tank talk, im wondering what the normal gallon size is, or most common of the 8ft tank.  Just wondering... And if you have one, how about a pic or two of it. I have a 6ft tank, Have had it for a while,  but maybe its time to step it up a bit...

Here is a site for you to check out, Tanks. At the bottom of that page they list typical sizes for 8 foot tanks. Hope this helps.

If your dedicated enough to get an 8 footer, you should be dedicated enough to cut a hole in the wall. Hahaha.

Most common IMO would be a 240 gallon (specifically a 240L). 300 gallons are second most IMO.

Here's another link if you want to see more on tank sizing:

Mine is 300 gallons. 8 ft long x 2 ft. deep by 2.5 feet tall. I choose the taller tank because it's more of a show piece in my basement.  With the stand it's almost 6 feet tall so it really makes for excellent viewing. Many hobbiests like the 30 inch deep instead if their housing large cichlids or catfish.

Go with this one: 340 Gal.   130 x 25 1/2 x 24 1/2 Tall   $1455. I know its more than 8 feet, but you will be the envy of all your aquarium buddies.

... and if they like getting their sleeves wet whenever they have to reach something at the bottom.

Sooo i ran the idea of an 8ft tank past the wife... And she didn't say no, her response was "That would look awesome".. I do have a wall it would fit one here in the basement... The problem would be finding volenteers to help me move it into the basement. That is where the challenge would be...

As long as it's a straight shot into the house, you shouldn't have a problem with the width at 30"
