I'm usre you'll get lots of different opinions, but with 3 tangs, a full-size angel and the trigger I wouldn't consider anything less than 180 and really think you should go with an 8' tank.

i would like to go up to an 8ft tank but have no room i was looking at either a 72x36x24-26, 72x30x26, and possible 84x30x24-26 or an 84x36x26

so you guys think the 6ft tank would be alright?

Travis L. Stevens · 02/28/2006, 01:31 PM

Personally, I would go with the biggest you can. The tangs, angelfish, and the trigger get very large. If you can't fit the eight foot tank, definitely go with the 7ft.

twon8 · 02/28/2006, 01:38 PM

i think the three feet width will help alot, so i would go as big as you can fit, afford, and get in the door.

yoboyjdizz · 02/28/2006, 02:33 PM

yo would a 72x36x26-30 better then a 84x30x26

haha, yeah anyway i would go with the biggest you can afford and get into the house... remeber though just getting the tank isnt everything also take into consideration the stand, lighting, filtration, rock, livestock, and everything you will dose. a tank that big is gonna get quite pricey....

yoboyjdizz · 02/28/2006, 02:57 PM

yeah money is the main concern i know this is gonna be pricey project, that why im wonder what size i should be looking into everyone been saying biggest you can afford but if i can do a 72x36x26-30 one i would choose it if not i can go up to 84x36x26 but would like to save that money for equipment
