looking for a 65

I've been musing about upgrading my 29 to a 65.....the largest tank I can fit into the little corner I have the 29 in presently.

I'd like a tank that's deeper than the measly 12inches I have now...and it can't be any longer than 36 inches. Height is no issue except as how much of me I want to have to get wet to reach the bottom and how effective the lights that I have will be in a deeper tank.

I believe I have 2 options....a 65 at 24inches tall.....or a 56 at 18inches tall. I already have a 36inch coralife power compact fixture with two brand new 96watt bulbs...one 10,000k and a one actinic......it sits over my 30inch long 29 at present...looks pretty silly.....

Does anyone have such a tank laying around that's just plain getting in the way and you'd like to get rid of ?

I hope I haven't posted this in the wrong place.........I read the "selling/trading" etiquette post and it mostly refers to "selling" an item....

Not sure if they still make the old 50 gallon size which was 36 long and 18 deep and taller than the 40 breeder of the same footprint. Its a nice size tank.

Thanks Reef ....I havn't gotten all the acronyms down yet....


I was wondering about a built in overflow....figure that type of setup is easier to take care of than one with an overflow box.....less chance of a spillover I think.........hhmm..........

I tried a hang on once, and sure enough murphy's law, went back next day, and the entire sump was on the floor...

I love my built in...

I had a hang on overflow for a few years. Never spilled a drop, atleast not because of the overflow box! So I would not say that they will always be a problem with overflowing your tank (or sump). My biggest complaint was that it tends to get loud with gurlgling every once in a while. That said, I run a built in now as well.
