  • Size of tanks

    I am asking anyone who has a 180 (72 x 24 base) or 150 (72 x 18 base) to give me the EXACT measured dimensions including the trim (ie I am looking for the wides points) as I am working on getting a shelf setup where the tank has to fit underneath another trim which is currently 57" off the floor (this is trim that goes around the fireplace, and I may in the end just remove it but the could be complications with that too).  I know a 72" tank will not fit if the trim is still there which is why we are going to install the shelf low enough that I can fit a 180 or 150 depending on what I end up with.

    See picture
    Red = Trim -- From floor to the bottom of the trim is 57"  The hole to the right is 73.5" wide and 24" depth.  If I go with a 180g tank the shelf will come 26" off the wall allowing for two inches of hose work etc to be running down the back.

      Cool Chris thank you :)  I am hoping someone can chime in with a 150 and 180... I just want to make sure they dont use thicker glass or anything like that :)

        Your not worried about the fireplace heating the tank?
