tank size advise

integra · 12/08/2008, 12:54 AM

dear reefers,
i have a 55G reef tank and plan to upgrade to a larger tank. the problem is my space is limited as only 57" L x 18" W x 24" H. I've been looking for a used tank with dimension as indicated but so far found nothing is available. the quote i got from LFS is a custom acrylic tank with over $800 for the tank itself, and it seems pretty expensive as my budget tight right now. any idea about the tank size, where to get a cheaper tank or some sort would be appreciated.

thx,
integra

a 75g - 48x18x20
or
a 90g - 48x18x24

too bad you dont have a few more feet to get a 125g (72x18x22).

thx EvMiBo,
I am leaning toward the 90G dimension, but if i can find the dimension close to 55" L would be perfect.
