Where to buy a 15 Gallon Tall/High Tank?

swiftvision · 10/20/2015, 10:01 AM

I have a 20"x10" space for my fuge but no one seems to make a 15 gallon high any more. As my fuge tank will overflow into my sump I need a taller tank to get above my 16" tall sump.

I know I could use a 10 gallon on a small stand but I'd like to pick up the extra gallons.

A 24" tall 20 gallon extra tall is too high as I've only got about 30" of space height wise.

Any ideas?

You might try making one yourself, can't be too hard if you take your time. But if I were you I would use 1/4 inch glass. I have made several in the years past and all are still in good shape except for the calcium deposits on the glass.

Believe it or not, check the pet stores around you. They often times carry a lot of the smaller size tanks. I bought my 15 high back in the day from a regular ol' pet store that just sold freshwater fish.

my lfs carries Deep Blue Professional, but they were only selling their 15g as a kit, I was wanting to use it to make a AIO qt tank, but look for a Deep Blue Professional retailer near you.
