Canada... i wish.
hey everyone i'm planning on getting a 200+ gal tank and wondering what are the best dimensions for it. (i called in my lfs and they said they can only give me a price if i have the dimensions i want.) i plan on having my two oscars and silver aro in there and maybe my two orinos... so i was thinking of 7 feet long... how much should i go with height and width?

:popcorn:
 
btw by using the conversion tool. im thinking of 7ftx3ftx2ft. any changes will be appreciated
 
Make it 8 feet long for the aro.
 
I personaly like wider tanks opposed to higher. It also is better for the fish to, more surface area.
 
so how about 8x2x2? comes up to 215 at 90% full.

I am partial to the standard 220g tank.

72x24x30 tall.

nothing beats the view of a 72x30 viewing area when sitting in front of it, and you have a nice 24" width on top of that.

its the ultimate tank IMO.
