Looking at a 180G tank

[CichlidGold]

Found a 180G tank for sale for a decent price and have been wanting to upgrade. It has a 6'x2'x2' footprint. I was just wondering what everyones opinion was on the length of their tanks. Is it tough to find a 7 foot 180 ?? I want to do a mixed CA/SA community in it but I feel like a 7 footer would be way better. What you guys think?

You can correct the title of the thread you know.

im a big fan of the 6x2x2 footprint...

ANY big tank you can get your hands on would be a sweet deal dude

2 foot is better just for increased swimming space.

I don't believe you can get a 7 foot 180 without having it custome made. At least perfecto doesn't make one. I do know that 265s are 7 foot.

if you are looking at a 180 get the 220 instead. same everything except for the small additional cost for the tank.

and the extra height (30" tall) looks 10x better.

I'd also go for the 220 if it's cost effective
