Need a tank 60"Lx 18"D x 24"(?)H . Who makes them? Anyone with a good list?

sikpupy · 03/31/2009, 03:12 PM

Looking for a regular non drilled tank with NON-tempered front/back. Was also wondering how many gallons is that? I now there are calculaters that could figure it, but, not sure the manufacurers would use the same standards.

Anyone in VA have one for sale or trade? Would trade stright up for my 90 with a coast to coast dead silent 3 pipe 1 1/2" system on it.

Thanks

mine is an older Oceanic but it's those exact dimensions, though it is drilled. The exact gallons is like 112 but it's called a 120 most of the time

Any other places that make this size tank

Hey check the thread I just posted "So if I told you i could build you a tank" you will see a quote I just got from my local builder

I have a Perfecto 120 which is 60x18x27? Not drilled. Nice tank and not too expensive.

You are going to be much happier if you increase the front to back from 18 inches to at least 24 inches, preferably 30 inches.

I found one the other night for $250 and yea, it was 26/7" Man, I always get so close! My 24 is high enough and maybe 2" too high. A 27" would be just way too big, both to reach in the tank and astecticly(sp). I might have to go with a custom tank but we will see. Whatever it is, it has to have the solid bracing at the top, not the cut and glued strips.

Unfortionatly in my p[lace, 18" wide is pushing its most limits. If I had the room, heck yea, I would go for 24 or so, but think, my space was really limited to a 13" deep tank and I totaly refused that. I wnt 18" and can juuuuuust barley live with that. So the coffee table does not fit and I can not see half the TV, thats life i guess, just could not do anything deeper than 18", lol.

Many places have flat back hex tanks 60 x 18x 24. I had one. Was like 110g.
