A 5x2x2 is 566.34ltrs / 124.58ukg / 149.61usg

A 6x2x2 is 679.6ltrs / 149.49ukg / 179.53usg

take the shelf out
measure the hole and get seabray to make a tank for it.
my hole is 24Lx 17Wx 19H, the tank is 24 x 16.5 x 14
so I had the shelf cutdown to fit the 5" gap.
this gives plenty of room for access to the tank for matainance and adding fish etc.

if you're going to do it order the tank as
all glass, 1" trim (pine yours looks like) on front only, sliding covers flush to top.
that way you get the max water line for the limited height

here a a couple of pics of inside



you could do the wood cover(cut down shelf) a different way than me, but I was impatient and am not good at woodworking

 

[mark7616]

my hole is 24Lx21Wx20H what size tank do you recomend???

 

[The-Wolf]

I'd go for 24 x 20.5 x 15, trust me you'll need that 5 inches at the top for access.
don't forget the under tank padding, I used clearseal base mat but poly tiles would do the same and cheaper.

what you stock in there is up to you, I have 10 exodons in mine and
can see no reason you couldn't do the same.
of course you may wish to go the puffer route or use it as a small tetra community.

BTW the filter on mine is an eheim classic 2211, which eheim no longer make but you can still buy
them on the net if you look around.
lighting is just 1x 15w arcadia original tropical lamp and heater is a newatt 100W,
you may need to go to 150w for yours, just in case.
