Tanks Built To Your Specs

[LastBoy5cout]

Have an alcove in my flat that is 150 cm wide so its just under 5 foot, I wanted a tank that would fit in there with hardly any gap at either end. If i put a four footer in there it wont be much bigger than my current tank and would have gaps at either end.

Are all tanks an exact size ie 4/5/6 foot or do they vary and if they dont does ayone know a company who make tanks to order so it will fit the hole perfectly.

you may be grateful of the gaps to access hob/external pipes,wires, electricity switches?. there are lots of companies that will fill the gap for you of course but its like a dress, one off the peg is going to be much cheaper than one you have made .. not that im suggesting you know anything about dresses lol

I tend to keep the dress wearing for weekends, but anywho!

I was thinking the hoses/Co2 etc could go down the back. I was after the built into the alcove look.

My dad is a carpenter so the cabinet will be purpose built.

you can get standard 5ft tanks. if it were me i would go with a 4ft though. you need some sort of gap, just incase.

Speak to ND aquatics very cheap and the build quality is second to none.

Thanks for all the input, am thinking now about the gap business. Do I really need a gap as surely the hoses and Co2 stuff can fit behind and will build a cabinet so will have holes in the back for said items and they can be stored underneath.

I wasnt thinking of going really flush about a inch gap either side.
