I wish they made the standard 210 72x29x24 I think alot of fish keepers would prefer this why isn't it more common?

That's why I'm having a 72*30 built, not to mention custom built isn't much different than off the shelf in terms of price.

my large tank is 33" tall, I use trash picker uppers to move things around when I need to, kinda like using a remote controlled hand at times. Vacuum with a 2.5ft vacuum tube, all done while standing on a indoor picnic style bench. whole thing is 6ft with canopy and love the wall of water and fishies at eye level when feeding. they use every bit of the tank.

How much for the custom built 72x30?

You will stay drier if you schedule maintenance on the bottom of the tank around water changes, lol
Congrats on the new tank

Nah I would just get a 180. If it was wider than yes but IMO you dont need much taller than 24''

Agreed.
