Looking for a new tank!

hopkins5059 · 05/06/2011, 11:46 AM

I am looking to upgrade to a larger aquarium. I am looking for something with a length of no more than 48 inches and a minimum of 90 gallons. I have been interested in a 110 or 150 gallon tall for awhile, so if anyone has one for sale, or knows someone who does, give me a call. Also will be selling my 72g Bowfront when no longer needed. Possible trades welcome. Give me a call at 716-574-3332 anytime. Thanks.

those tall tanks suck for reef tanks,I'd either stick with the 90g or the 120g

hopkins5059 · 05/06/2011, 12:46 PM

even with the MH? Problem is I have no where to put a 6 foot tank!

How about a 120 rimless?

PM me if you're interested.

hopkins5059 · 05/06/2011, 01:13 PM

They are nice, but I'm shooting for a wall mounted tank, so not worried about rim or not. How much you asking?

I would say go for the 120 gallon 4ft x 24 x 24. Not too tall and you will get good MH penetration.

The 48x24x24 dimensions of the marineland RR 120 are superb IMO. It provides a good common ground for volume and useable space, It gives you extra depth to work with when aquascaping instead of having the linear to the top stack. I also run 2 x 250 MH and 4 x 65 PC actinics and have great growth and healthy beautiful corals. I should mention that I dont have one for sale I am just stating my experience with that particular tank in hope of it making your decision easier.

I have a 120g for sale along with a six foot furniture quality stand. I also have a 40g long sump, asm g4xx skimmer and an iwaki rxt 40. Pm me with interest.

120G is (IMO) much more practical for a reef tank than anything 30''+ or higher, you'll find yourself getting frustrated when performing maintenance with wet armpits. 120G rimless? Stop teasing!
