180 Tall vs. 150 wide?

[kageh124]

If you've read some of my previous posts you can obviously tell that I'm tank shopping at the moment. If I had an option between a 180 tall (6 x 1.5 x 2.5) or a 150 (4 x 2 x 3.5) which one would you take? The 150 is in much better condition but the 180 is still 30 more gallons.

I like the length of the 180.... but in a sense; it's kind of a tall 125. For the 150, even though it's only 4 feet long; I really like how it's both 2 feet wide and 2 feet high.

I'd go with the 6 ft. 180. In spite of the width of the 150, with many of the larger CA/SA cichlids, 6 ft. trumps 4 ft. My two cents.

I really like wide tanks. Have seen alot of the 150 and they are nice tanks. 150 is my vote.

Sorry, correction... it's 4 x 2 x 3.5... hmmm... if my calculations are correct; that's a little more than 200 gallons?

150 wide if your keeping bottom dwellers.
I have a 150 breeder that's 6x2x20" try to find that one :thumbup:
