Who makes a 36 x 24 footprint aquarium?

lessthanlights · 05/29/2008, 11:06 AM

Does anyone make a 36L x 24W x 18H off the shelf aquarium- 65 gallons? This would be a stellar medium/small reef for apartment dwellers. Could be taller but I can't seem to find anything like it. I'm looking to upgrade my 40 breeder without the custom price.

That doesn't look like a common aquarium size I'm familiar with

Here is a list of common - might want to check and see if you have your dimensions correct.

Glasscages shows a 36x24x17 "65 wide" in either glass or acrylic. Chuck

Wow, that looks like a good size... I wonder what you could use for lighting with that width and the short tank.

T5s and Glasscages at your own risk.

I was planning on using the 6x39 T5s that are currently on my 40 breeder.

Glasscages at my own risk? I've heard fantastic and terrible reviews from Glasscages.

Glasscages is local for me. I've been to the factory and they crank out a *lot* of product. You're not going to get a premo silicone job, and the owner is set in his ways.

My GC tank has done fine, and they support the local club here. If you're looking for a discount tank and no frills service you'll prob be fine. I think lots of the negative feedback are folks who expect the lexus but want to pay for the toyota.

Perfecto '' Marineland'' They now make 36inch Wide Reef Ready aquariums. Might be something nice for you and good price as well. Im setting up a 250 which is 60x36x27.
