Suggestions on a new tank

[TikiDan]

I want a different tank!!! I have learned a lot since I bought my AGA 125g, and now I am tired of messing with it! I was thinking about something with the dimensions of 48" x 24" x 24" or something around there. I was just wondering what peoples thoughts were on brands or local builders that I could choose from.


Thanks in advance,

Go with a 120G AGA. It's the same as my tank.

Tiki am not sure what so bad about that tank, I think it's a great size tank

the stand is too short for one, and I wish I had more front to back room for aqua-scaping. My tank is 72"x18"x24" and being that it is 6 feet long it eats up alot of space in my apartment. I thought that a four foot tank would take up less wall space and then I could use 2 reflectors instead of 3 therefore saving on the power bill. Should I just stick with what I have? If so I will need a new stand and a new sump.

How about a bigger apartment and then you can get a bigger tank!

[TikiDan]

and its closer

Its gonna take a few trips to fit all of this in or on my Integra, so the closer the better!

 

[gdm42001]

I have been in contact with the seller of the other one, but I am heading to Arizona and won't be back till next week.
I asked him to email me if it is still available and maybe I can stop by on the way back

 

[TikiDan]

good luck, it looks nice.

TikiDan,

I swear there is another tank similiar to the one you were looking at but starphire! It was on craigslist sac or bayarea but I wasn't sure? If I ever have a chance to get a large tank I'll wait and save up for a starphire tank ( I think you spell it that way), that or a large rimless cube. Can't wait to see what you get.

Tiki I like that second one better, nice cabinet

Jason, the rimless is realy cool, I saw a nice square one 48"x48" that is swwwweet Starphire is cool, but its easy to scratch not as bad as acrylic though
