I need help selecting tank size

[12 Volt Man]

if you have 4 feet to work with, see if you can get a 120 gallon tank.

its 4 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet and most of the main companies like all-glass and perfecto make this one.

the extra width adds a lot of room.

try and maximize the tank size with the length of wall space you have to work with.

it all depepnds on how many fish ur puttin in there

i would opt for the widest ( front to back) tank rather than height... imo gives the fish more room

Thanks for the info!

I will likely get a 120 then as it does not take that much room out of a living room but is still huge for the fish

A 180 is too big and heavy when full

never ever move a tank with any thing in it !!!!! asking for trouble whether 120 or 180

Thats not what I meant. I meant a 120 full weights 1400lbs where has a 180 ways 2100lbs....I would feel safer with 1400lbs sitting on my floor then 2100.

If your permanent, (who can be nowadays) I have learned, Go ahead and get as big a tank as your wallet and floor can handle. I have also learned, Be careful what you wish for!

I agree when i went bigger a few weeks later i regretted not going even bigger. The bigger you go the better options you have down the road
