 Topic: Tank size and Materials?
Posted: December 22 2009 at 5:33pm |
So I currently have a standard 55 gallon tank but I want to upgrade to a larger tank in the new year!!! I can't decide on the size. I want it to be somewhere between 48" to 72" long and 24" to 30" wide and 24" to 30" Tall. So what would be better for a tank this size glass or acrylic? I'm kind leading toward glass but not totally sure. Out of my range of dimensions what would you recommend for LxWxT?
Thank you!
Arthur

As far as dimensions it personal preference for the space you'll put it in. As far as big tanks go I like glass better (JMO). Just gives me more peace of mind to know it's harder to scratch. You can get tanks now with starphire front glass that showcase colors just as good as acrylic. Let me know if you need help moving it in or doing whatever to set it up.

Jeremy, whatever happened with that big tank build you did for your employer, I have not seen any pics. Did I miss the build thread somewhere? Was that one glass?
