Recommend Me A Tank..

[CLOSSIE]

I am looking for a 6ft tank. Doesnt necessarily need to be 6x2x2, could be 72x24x18. I need the height for my angel.
Back to the plot.
Cannot find an off the shelf provider of 6ft tanks and stands... Is anyone aware of any manufacturers, or am I looking at a custom built tank and stand by say BOSS or ACAQUATICS?
Any ideas would be gratefully received.

Thanks

have you checked n and d aquatics, they work through ebay but they are pretty cheap, I think you'll have to get it built though

whats their shop name - I will look now.

this page has a price list for n and d aquatics

i've also been doing some research for a custom made tank and must admit from people in several fish forums, n&d have a good reputation. Their prices seem to be the most competitive.

I understand we have a similar company who sponsors this forum, windsor aquatics? They have their own board on this forum you might want to check them out too

Most reputable stores can order you the tank, they'll generally give you a bit of a discount too since it's not going to take up floor space. I would look into that first of all then you wont worry about shipping

Thanks for that. the n and d stuff looks quite well priced.. Have asked for some prices.

Not sure if its worth posting a new thread, but lets see what happens

Question - - -How to get enough light into a 6ft tank.

I have found twin T5 54w (60 inch) tubes are available. Even if I put 4 of these into the tank, I am still well below 2WPG.
I plan on a planted tank, so how do people get enough lights into a 6ft tank to make this possible.? Seriously do I need 3 twin? Not sure if I will have enough space....

Any ideas?
