	48 gallon?
GirlieGirl8519 Fish Master Malawi Planter Posts: 1468 Kudos: 1029 Votes: 35 Registered: 25-Mar-2005	I am getting a used fish tank from a relative. She thinks it is 48 US gallons. I haven't had a chance to look at it or get it yet. Does anyone have any idea of the dimensions of a 48 gallon aquarium? I'm trying to find a hood for it online but to get an idea of how much it will cost I need dimensions. Thanks! *Kristin*

Could be the make??? All-Glass makes a 46 gal bow? Try their website: www.all-glass.com http://www.fishprofiles.com/site/aquarank.aspx

I thought maybe someone had one. I have never seen or heard of a 48 gallon either. I'll just have to get the tank and measure it. I may just get a 55 since it is a common size and lots of stuff (stands and such) is made for them. Thanks for the reply! *Kristin*

Just be patient & wait a bit. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
