largest tank that is 16" wide

What is the larget gal capacity i can get with a 16" width?

Looking to pipe this in with a crossover pipe to give my current sump more capacity. I seem to overflow 1-3gal when a power outage occurs. Not looking for anything fancy and want to keep costs down

Sides have to be NON tempered as i will be dilling holes for bulkheads

With acrylic you can go as big as you want. I think it will be custom made regardless.

Let me revise that. Largest GLASS made tank in 16" width. No custom work. Want something that is premade and readily available.

Whenever I want to know a standard tank size, I go here:

Think he carries everything non-custom that I have seen.

If it could only br 18", it would make a world of difference. You could go with a 125g or a 150g if it was 18", 16" cuts you back to a 55g for the biggest standard size tank.
