8ft by 2ft by 2ft

Hi all I'm after a 8fter in a few months I'm just wondering are these a common size tank I'm after one second hand, can I pick one of these up fairly cheap? Thank you.

Seen a couple on ebay but not many, don't think they're as common over here as they are in the us. Cleair Aquariums make/made them brand new, i know over one brand new that's been slowly dropped in price over the years as no-one's bought it if you can get to Norfolk.

Where in Canada are you?

By any chance Toronto?

not so sure they are all that common in canada - at least near toronto. although as mentioned they may be common in other provinces.

I have been keeping fish for 20 years and have yet to ever see an 8x2x2 tank available for sale in a LFS in Ontario -even big al's.

Miracles doesn't make a stock tank this size although they do custom work so that is always an option.

Aqueon/Oceanic and Perfecto do not make a tank with these dimensions anymore either.

you may have a tough time finding one.

however, 265s that are 84x24x30 tall are everywhere, as are 6x2x2 180's and 220's that are 72x24x30 tall are common as well.

best of luck with your search.
