rchristensen114 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I'm upgrading my 108gal tank to a 180gal and would like some input. Ive been looking at two tanks the first one measures 24H,24W,72L the second measures 30H,18W,72L. I,m keeping Frontosas and peacocks in the tank. can you tell me what tank would be better for aficans and why. thanks for your time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would go with the first one, 72x24x24 to get the larger footprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvision Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I agree with Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 The fronts would probably look pretty good in the taller tank, but if you ever decide to go with something else then you'd definitely prefer the wider tank in the long run. Or you could just bump it up to a 230 and go with 72x24x30 tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharuq1 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I would also say to go with the wider tank, and if you can bump it to a 240 that would be even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocker85675 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 im pretty sure they would be happy in EITHER tank. :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchristensen114 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks for the help I ended up going with a 26W,32D,72L I think it works out to 280gal. The frontosa's should love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punman Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I guess my comment is too late but I don't want a tank deeper than 24 inches - too deep to maintain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
