thinkin of making a 200gl tank ... thoughts please

[Irbanjaxed]

just trying to see if it worth it to make a 200gl tank for my fish i have a 90 gl tank now and my fish will need a upgrade soon.. dem. i was thinkin of is 26in wide 36in high and 5 inches long... only the front will have plexi glass for viewing plywood would be use all around the side back and bottom .... what do you think

bump for myself

its doable search the diy porjects and ideas forum and you'll see the
projects there im also planning one


because its would look good in the house consideriing theres lots of antique furniture in our house


second it looks better than the usual glass tank

Are you sure about it only being 5 inches long??

same q^^

typo ... 50 inchs

it can easily be done. but why not 36in wide and 26in tall? that would be cheaper and give you a wider foot print. just a thought.

because of fitting it through most doors is what i was thinkin

i getcha...you can always turn it sideways. thats what i do with my tanks.

i agree... anything higher 30" can make it difficult moving stuff on the bottom around if you need to. but if decor isn't your thing go for it.
