Anybody have a 5' tank up and running?

Cannot deside on what size tank I want to go with 5 or 6 foot?

My 110 is 5' and I love it. To me, 4 ft tanks look too small and 6 ft tanks are too big for apartments (IMO).

I used to have an Oceanic 77 gal which was a foot tank. Coolest tank I have had. It was real similar to a 55 gal but it was 5 foot instead of 4 like a 55.

in my apartment we have a 5ft 120gal its a good size and looks nice

If I did go with a 5 foot tank it would be 60x24x24 150 gal. Not much of a price difference for the 6 foot so I don't know yet.

I like my 6' 215RR. You can never go big enough said Nook and he is right. If you go way big It won't see water four 5 to 10 years, Nooks plan.

[JxMetal]

72x24x29 I think

[Letmegrow]

Will you have the darts on the ground or behind the tank up in the air ?

 

[Letmegrow]

They should make a cheaper wave box and one for smaller tanks.
That is really what I want.

I have 120 gal mangrove/lagoon cycling. 5'L x 24"h x 18"w
I like it but, I will always want a bigger tank.

The 215RR is 72"longx29"h 24"d

 

[Nanook]

6x2x2=180g tank...perfect size, IMO.
