Long tanks low volume

[PhysicsDude]

That is a tremendous tank, I love the fact that it's only 80 gallons as well, while having a superb footprint. You could legitimately do bigger fish in the 12inch range, and have plenty of room for territory etc

P.S more pics please!

I mis-typed, its actually 84" (7 feet) wide, its almost 100 gallons of internal volume. I love the relatively large footprint, and 100 gallons of water is pretty easy to filter without an elaborate setup.

Here's pictures of the whole setup, its 11' wide from end to end. The pictures are pretty old, the plants are grown in more now.

I'm looking at those picture frame aquariums as well. 5' long 2' high and 2" wide. plant it with jungle Val and get a school of neons. supported on the wall with screws and it's a living picture

Excuse the 'dirty' look. Here's my 10 gallon long. I may have it up and running in another month or two. It's been empty for a few years now.

Thinking of having a tank built for two small fancy goldfish guys, in the style of this thread. Ideally between 20-25 gallons maximum.

I'm thinking 48x10x12, 25 gallons.

If the 10 inch width is too thin though, I might opt for the 36x12x12 which I had great success with before. I had two fantails in that size tank until I moved recently and gave the tank to a neighbour.

Thoughts welcome, also in regards to growing out the tank; I wouldn't anticipate that for at least 2 years or so given the growth rate

I have a 10L it's 24"x10"x10"

Looking at my own picture I posted I realized it couldn't be 24"x10"x10" . So, I went and measured it...it's 24"x12.5"x9"

are you gonna set it up? I've got a 43"x11"x11" coming at the weekend hopefully, I should have it set-up then

It's in the works...I just built the stand for it a month ago(seen in picture). I need to re-paint the wall in the house where it is going(my daughter drew on it). It's at the bottom of my to-do list(or the wife's to-do I should say).

Pics of the new 43" x 11" x 11", 22.5 gallons.

Love this tank already, very minimalist; only one Fluval U2; its pretty sleek, can see this becoming my fast favourite lol

Planning on using it for either a small shoal of minnows, or grow out for two fantail goldfish.

I didn't appreciate these types of tanks until I got into plants. I've been wanting a 48x12x12 for a very long time now.
