a 180G is 6 x 2 x 2
a 220G is either a 6 x 2 x 2.5 or 7 x 2 x 2
but 7 x 2 x 2 = 209.75 Gallon
If your 220G is a 6 ft tank, half of a ft in height doesnt seem a big difference..
so Id think 180G is fine, unless your planning to buy a 7ft tank

arg! mixed answers! the 220g tank would be 6x2x2.5 but thats not big enough for a silver aro? people say it isnt even big enough for a jar
You are going to get different answers. People have varying opinions. It would likely live in there for life but I would suggest a larger tank. (300g, 8x3x2)
apparently there is no right or wrong answer here as people have very different opinions on this subject. i made it very clear what i thought in post # 22. but this just my OPINION and you are most likely looking for the answer you WANT to hear.
if youre gonna do a 210/220, i would definitely take the extra foot of lenght over a few inches of height. the height of the tank is not gonna help much as silvers tend to stay towards the top of the tank anyways.
again, in my opinion, i say that silvers should be kept in a 240 bare minimum and jardini's in a 180. with that said, i have my silver in a 210 (7x2x2) and i plan on keeping him there for a very very long time unless i find a good reason to get something bigger.
so again, my short answer to your question is NO on the silver and YES on the jardini. you can either listen to what i say or ignore it. makes no difference to me.
good luck

sorry about that jcar, ive actually updated my plans to include a 360g tank, thats 8x3x2. just the idea of having such a large tank already then having to upgrade sounds like alot more work than is needed or necessary. im sorry if ive offended you.
