Thanks really wanted to leave room for the fish to swim around, my old tank was only 18" wide and this one is 30" so really enjoying the extra width

Very nice and successful upgrade, congratulations!
Where did you get the 240g--I'm looking for a larger tank >180g?

I actually found it on "craigs list" on line. Just searched for aquariums in cities close to my location, and found it in Alpine CA about 2 hours from here, actually was surprised how many tanks were listed.

Thanks for the info.

Isn't it amasing how salt water can shrink a tank. Great tank!! What are you gonna do with all that extra room?

What are the dimensions? I love the idea of a 30" wide tank - is it less long or less tall than a standard 240 (8' x 2'x 2')?

What are the dimensions?

tank is 72Lx25Hx30W

Thanks, hope to fill it up slowly, even try some sps high on the rocks. Plus add a few fish, wife wants a school of Anthias so that will be of utmost importance :rollface:

sounds great, Watch the Anthias, mine tried sky diving. I'm a little jel, I wish I had the room. Good luck with it.
