I bought 2 atf's as babies. I put em in a 56 gallon to grown em out a little. Now I'm shopping nice size tank. I was looking into 125 gallon but it just won't fit because of my tv. What sizes are everyone else using? How important is the height of the tank? (depth of water)

It's going here

Most atfs are very large growing fish so you may need to find a different spot for a new tank. I have a vatf in a 750g. I think the 4' width is important. The height is 2.5' and works well at this point. What type of atfs did you buy and how long do you want to keep them?
 
My vittatus is 14" and roughly 1 year old. I bought him last sept at almost 5".
 
They don't sound like a suitable wet pet for you... If you wanna keep them happy that is. If you can go for a 150 gallon 5x2x2. That's probably the biggest you can fit their without being custom made. But that won't last forever either.
