Excuse my ignorance, but what is an ATF? I can't view the pictures yet and I can't for the life of me figure out what it means...

Never mind, I just figured it out from another post.
sounds like a good size tank to me watch the tankmates though aft's grow pretty slow

Yes, watch for aggressive tankmates. A 240g might last 2yrs, but it is narrow (2' wide) and maybe outgrown quicker than that. That is one the most important things about housing these fish. They need a lot of surface swim area. Meaning large tank with a wide footprint (min 8' x 3'). Height isn't so important (2' height) is fine.
