New Tank Arriving On Friday

[Syphoniera]

Is the tank actually 6ft. tall and 18 inches wide, or 6ft. long and 18 inches wide?
If it is actually that tall and narrow, I'd be interested to know how set-up and maintenance are done - my mind boggles at the thought, but I was kinda boggled when I came here, lol.

Goldfish, not sure what type as the fish came with the tank, the fish are going into a pond as soon as it is finished and cycled. I will get some piccies of the fish up so hopefully they can be identified.
