Your LFS.

180/220s are common sizes that you can pick up from typical manufacturers (AGA, Marineland...). Look around and see what options you have local and then look up reviews for that manufacture. If you're wanting a custom tank you'll pay a bit more.

thanks i will call my lfs. didnt know if they made tanks that big that werent custom.

 

[armison89]

is marinelands 265 gallon the largest standerd tank? or can i get bigger without going custom?

marineland makes a 300 gallon deep dimension tank standard. the dimensions are 6feet/ 3 feet/ 27 inches. i believe those are right but it is a standard tank size not custom

armison89- see John @ MO

Aqua Shoppe in Greece, NY has DD's on display on their floor.

JMO but get a 6ft. 180 for tangs

If you're limited to 6 feet that 300 DD is probably the biggest tank out that is not custom. I'd agree that the 180 is probably the best option but if you are wanting the biggest 6 footer the 300 DD would give you 84 7/8" inches if the tang swam diagonally from the left bottom back corner to the right top upper corner.:spin1:

If this aquarium is to be a fish only I would look for a used acrylic aquarium.
