Ok..Jason_R_S made me think of this one.....

What are the standard tank measurements..or moreso what do you think they are?

For example to me a standard 50g is 3x18"x18" ...a standard 150g is 5'x2'x2'

But again..what do I know

I'm not sure above that

Just wanted to reply to move this up. There have been a number of the same or similar questions lately.

I know a 210 US Gallon is 72"x24"x29"... Can't wait to bring it home next month

BUMP

Just saw a few questions on tank sizes, figured I would put this thread near the top to get the info out there and easier to find.

I frequently consult AGA's website for tank dimensions. Most of them are pretty standard sizes.

techjak, I think you need to adjust the width you listed for a 30 breeder and 40 breeder. I'm sure you meant 18" wide instead of 8" wide.

Otherwise, great list.
