6" tank width worth the extra price?

[freak78]

So the first tank is 72×30×25 and here's the price.

The other size is 72×36×25.


Is the extra 6 inches of width worth the 300 dollars? This is my dilemma.

Depends on what you want to keep, but in general as long as you can fit it in your place and afford it, totally yes!

Yeah just thinking of what I would keep in a 36 width. I know i'll put my other giraffe in it. Maybe a ray.

I'm also considering the 72x30x25 but hadn't really thought the 6 inch wider one. Isn't that joker 300 gallons?

I always heard that taller tanks were pricier but at glasscages it's opposite. A 72x24x31 is $100 cheaper than the 72x30x25.

t. Maybe a ray.

Yeah! A ray!

It a 280 wide their saying.

IMO it is worth it regardless of what you want to keep. Wide tanks are awesome, I love the extra dimensionality of watching your fish swim towards/away from you rather than just left-to-right.
Unless that $300 is going to absolutely break the bank then go for it, six months down the road I guarantee you're not going to be sitting in front of your tank thinking "gee I wish I hadn't spent that money on going wider".

 

[stempy]

No question. An absolute yes. After going from a 2ft wide tank to a 4ft wide tank I have an entirely new appreciation for width.

I have a chance to get a giant gourami but don't really want to until I have another tank. It's currently 10+ inches and if it's a prick I have no other Tank for it and I don't want it to harm my current stock.
