Cheep Big Tanks?

[dbanner]

Lookin for a tank about 4x2x2 but not really wanting to pay a shed load of money out....

Why do you want a 4x2x2 if you already have a 380 litre? Not going to be much bigger at all. A 48x24x20 is 350 litre.

Maybe looking to have multiple tanks rather than upgrade?

 

[dbanner]

Maybe but he said in a previous post that he has a 5x2x3 which is apparently 380 litres.... Correct me if I'm wrong but those dimensions would mean quite a bit more than 380 litres. And that he was looking to get something smaller to replace it ....

I had the tank givin to me, and some one calculated it up on hear an said it was 380 liter so I just fought it was lol, an it's abit to big for where I have lookin for abit smaller

 

[dbanner]

Ahh right lol I get you now. Least you know now it's more than what you was told lol

5x3x2 is approx 850l

You'll need to keep an eye on your stock levels if your dropping back down to a 4x2x2 (450l)
what have you got in the tank at the moment?

 

[AshleyT]

Hahaha, it's just abit to big for where am living, a little smaller should do the trick

 

[dbanner]

Yea that's a good point... What fish have you got at the moment because you may have to go through your options if you downgrade

 

[AshleyT]

2 angle fish
1 red fin shark
2 kerbensis male an female
2 male guppies
4 female guppies
2 clown loach
2 swardtails male an femail
1 firemouth (for now)
2 bristle noes
An 6 other tetra type things

 

[dbanner]

The only ones I know won't go in a 4x2x2 are the clown loaches. Pretty sure they need a tank of 6ft long

And they need to be in bigger groups than 2

I am the one that told you your tank was about 380 liters and 100 gallons because in your other thread you said your tank was 5 feet long by 16 inches by 24 inches. So your tank would not be 5x3x2 it would be 5 X 1 1/3 X 2 so one of your measurements is very inaccurate. Also I miscalculated on the other thread if it is what you told me it's about 400 liters not 380 btw.

 

[AshleyT]

No they are the measurements it is 5 ft long 3 ft high an 2 ft wide

 

[Man of fish]

Then why'd you tell me 5 feet long by 16 inches wide by 28 inches tall?

 

[AshleyT]

I don't talk in inches so I don't know where you have for that from for a start and second you was the one 2 add it all up

 

[Man of fish]

On a thread called 'somebody identify me this fish please' On pages 2 and 3 or 3 and 4 or something you told me " 150 cm long 40 cm wide and 70 cm tall" which equates to 5 feet by 16 inches by 28 inches.
