Tank Dimensions Needed!

[richardhmc]

Hello all, now that I have moved I want to try to start on diy tanks... a 75 gallon, a 180, and a ?

I would like to know the dimensions for a 75, 180 and the last one I want to make an aro tank but I am not sure how big it would have to be

for the 75, 180, and ? Tank I would like wide dimensions please.. Thanks!

How about you tell Us what the demensions are that your looking for ... I mean who cares if it's a 75 , 80 or a 180 - 200 .... it's all about the size of the space you have to put it in and how much of that space you want to fill up with one tank

Standard demensions are 48" x 21" x 18" for the 75g and 6' x 2' x 2' for the 180. If ya gonna make it for an silver aro then 96" x 30" x 24" would make for a nice tank, go 96" x 36" x 30" would make for an awesome tank.

96x36x30 would be awesome! I just hope you have long arms, I would rather a 24 inch height, so i could easily reach everywhere.

96x42x24 = 420G tho! Would be a sick stingray tank!

Well, if you want to put it that way basslover, lol, I have the basement which is about 16 ft x 12 ft? nice small comfy basement

I want to try to line up the wall with tanks like a "fish room" that everyone has

I would prefer wide sizes and for the aro tank.. I was thinking black aros which I believe are bigger at max length than silvers

 

[dmopar74]

silvers are the largest unless you count arapima. blacks grow to the same lenght supposedly but i have never heard of one as large as some silvers i have seen and silvers are more bulkier, blacks a little more streamlined.

I want to try to get a few aros and then grow them out and end up with 2... hopefully a pair.. which is almost IMPOSSIBLE which I know.... but hey, I can dream =D

 

[AquataHolic420]

ok for those dreams and hopes.. u need the dimensions i said...and DOUBLE THEM if not TRIPLE!
