Upgrade Question

[robertherrington]

Ok, Well Im Thinking Of Upgrading To Maybe A 20 Gallon Within The Next Couple Days ( For My Platies ) And I Was Just Wondering Whats Better 20G High Or Long And Are If I Got A 20G High ( Just A Standard Glass Tank) Would The Hood From My 10G Fit On It? Thanks

Id say go long instead of tall, but then the hood wouldnt fit...

Any Idea How Much The Hoods Run Usd$$

I don't think the hood will fit either of them. A standard 10 gallon is 20" long while a 20 gallon high is 24" and 20 gallon long is 30". You can get the glass cover for a 30" tank for less than about $30. Petsmart has this one online.

go to petsmart, or walmart and buy the aquarium that comes with a hood. The glass aquariums up to 29 gallons are really fairly cheap

Im looking At $70.00 For The Hood And A 20G Long Or High

Petsmart sells the 29 gallon starter kit for about $100 and that include everything. If you have room for the 20 long, I would go for a 29 gallon. The footprint is the same, the 29 is just taller.

But Are You Talking Acrylic Or Glass?

 

[rdd1952]

This is for glass. I haven't priced them in a while. They could be a little higher than that now.

Glad I could help. Now since I'm a Realtor and I have helped your fish find a new home, do I get a commission? Oops, I'm not licensed in Minnesota.

definately go for long instead of tall, this way active fish can zoom around all they want and not stress the other fish as much

i think that depends on how the fish like it since they are the ones who will live in it lol
