Need A Tank

Luzi · Jun 19, 2010

I need a tank that measures approx. L50 x D25 x H45 cm and holds roughly 50Litres of water.
Every tank i've seen is too deep - most are over 30cm and are about 40cm tall and 60cm long. I don't want to have one custom made as that's pretty expensive and i want to spend about £100
These are all my demands, I don't mind what colour or shape it is and i have all the accessories
Thanks for your help!

You could try emailing Boss Aquariums for a quote on an aquarium of that exact size.

They quoted me £115.23 for a 36" x 24" x 18"w

I've been looking at the clearseal tanks but they don't have the right size at my LFS and the delivery is seriously expensive, so i'll keep them as a last resort
It's a really weird size because it's going where my current 25L tank is -on a worktop. There's space to expand sideways and upwards but not forwards, so I need to keep the depth as small as possible. So far my best option seems to be an AquaOne tank, but it only holds 34L and I think my fish would be overcrowded in it.
otherwise i might go for a 60L goldfish tank but it's 30cm deep and only 35cm high >< I might compromise on the depth, but most tanks are under 40cm high. Any ideas why that is?
