My new 5x2x2

ozzy47 · May 2, 2005

Well here is my new 5x2x2 tank, been waiting a while to upgrade the rio 240 they where in, it is a custom built stand, well some frame work and tongue and groove around an iron stand, although the lid is custom.

ok and now a few of the fish which i inherited all as babies so i am not really sure what they are and i have had them a few years now, still think they are awesome even if i dont know what type of malawis most are.

Nice tank, doesnt look 5x2x2 to me though... have you actually measured it? The width doesnt look anywhere near 2 foot wide from the pictures..

hi mate yeah i bought it second hand and it is a custom built tank, and i must admit when i got to the house to view it i thought exactly the same as you so i measured it and it is 60x24x23, so in effect yeah u r right i do lie it is an inch short of 2 feet wide, but i do agree it doesnt look 2foot wide but as i say i can assure it is well an inch short.

Fair enough

It must be the angle the picture was taken from combined with the surrounding furnature making it look alot smaller than it actually is.
