I feel dumb..... but happy!

I just decided to measure all the dimensions of my "show" tank in my bedroom. It has housed my mbuna for a few months now. I always thought I had a 55 gallon long since it is 4' long. however, I just measured it all and realized I actually have a 75 gallon! it is 18 wide, 48 inches long and 20 inches tall. SHHHHHHHHH! don't tell the wife but i just snuck an extra 20 gallons of tank in the house. anyone ever had a similar experience in tank sizing or am i just dumb lucky?

Every time I go to pick up a "150" gallon etc.. used from someone on CL, it turns out to be a 55 or 90 or something. Even had people send me measurements and it was no where close when I actually showed up. LOL, nice bro!

$10 says that someone will put a tank up as a bowfront one of these days and it will just be an acrylic tank that's too thin!
