help for a tank dimensions

[bobVillanueva]

not sure if this is the right place to post this. though i'm just wondring what would you guys think is the best dimensions for a 200, 250 and a 300 gallon tank? in inches preferably. and uh.. thickness. i'm planning to custom make mine from a local aquarium shop. i trust u guys more over them haha!

it's a glass tank sealed with sealant the way tanks are usually made in markets... though custom made this time

in iches please and uh include the thickness of the glasS

It really depends on what you are gonna put in it but I think I like the standard 96x30x24H 300 gal. It lets you use 1/2 inch glass pretty safely so is not as pricey as a taller tank. Though I'd probably make it at least 32 inches wide which would make it more like a 319. If you wanna put SA arowana and rtc in it go bigger.

i say if your goona put aro or rtc i said make it a tad bit more then 300g i say like dimenstions of 108lx36x24 that is 9x3x2 and about 400gallons but a rtc will most likly out grow it eventulay a arow would be good for life.(as far it says under 3feet and most do)it defeinly depends on what you want in it. i would have to the best would have to be as long and wide as possable and 24inches tall. thats my input. you be good 3/8 up too 24in and 1/2 up too 36in tall and any lenght.

A larger footprint is better for...say...an RTC. something like a 4'x4'x2' (48"x48"x24").
If your keeping an aro...as has already been suggested...depth is useless and even width isn't as importiant as a lot of people assume. Length however is best. so an 8'x2.5(wide)x2'(deep) is best (96"x30"x24"). If you want to keep discus or a large shoal of fish...then trade width and length for depth.
