My new 5x2x2

[ozzy47]

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.

 

[bunjiweb]

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.
