    Tank Size For A Jardini

    I will be getting a custom built aquarium for my Jardini once it outgrows my 6ftLx1.5ftWx2ftH. I am currently trying to choose between a 6ftLx3ftWx2ftH and a 7ftLX2.5ftWX2ftH. Which of these two would be better?

    Critique My Tank Build Design & Fish List - Please

    I'm in the process of designing my 500+ gallon tank with overflows and a 50 gallon sump. It's an odd pentagon shape - 8.5' x 5' (should allow adequate turning radius for larger fish). Please look at my drawing and provide me with any comments, pointers or tips. GOOD, BAD, or UGLY! The entire...

    Who makes the best custom tanks?

    Looking to rebuild my swamp with my turtle in it a bit differently, and I need a non-standard tank size. Something along the lines of 60''Lx24''Wx16''H, drilled, with a stand and canopy. I'm not sure if it makes a difference as I'd assume this would have to be shipped anyway, but I'm in NYC...
