WTB a long, large tank/ or trade 75 gal and canopy stand

Post by ladyofthedeep »

I have a wall in my dining room that needs to be landscaped with a long tank. I have a 75gal there now and it is way too small. Please let me know what you have and prices. I would like at least 150 gal. Thanks.

Here's another beauty:

or maybe this:

Good luck with your search. If it were me, I'd look for a used 240 gallon (96" X 24" X 24").

So you are looking for something longer than 6 ft? Thats going to be tough to find unless you are willing to go up even larger than 180. I think to get 8 ft you are looking at 240 at least unless you get something custom built.

Its not a longer tank but it is more panoramic. The 130 gal acrylic tank w/stand canopy the works. I've seen the tank in person and its custom build and its an awesome tank. Would probably work nice for you.

I saw the 130...not what I am looking for...I guess the 220-240 range is what I need....Long......yes......but not too tall...I am only 5'4" and I need to be able to take care of the whole thing myself.....Thanks, Carol

Here is a site that has somewhat standard tank sizes. I know you can have anything custom made from a number of places. Rich should be able to get any size you want really, for a price. Typically finding a used one is the best bet money wise.

Just remember that aquascaping something that is 6 ft by less than 18 inches front to back and tall can be difficult.
