Tank Length Survey
 

Just curious what tank lengths everyone it running, or would like to find out the most common lengths in the industry.

I am investigating a new LED lighting concept and wondering where to focus my efforts.

I am running 5 feet. I think you will find alot in the 6 feet range due to the fact it is easier to find lighting fixtures to fit it perfectly.

I was running a 4 foot fixture until recently when I found a new light from Hamilton that is 5 feet. The Hamilton Belize Sun... Very nice light, high end quality.

6 feet

6 feet long

72"

Wish I had 96"....or more.

Multiple Tank Syndrome. 48", 36" and 30".

6'

Mine is 48"...ya should have added 72" to the poll, lots of people with 6' tanks. :)

the modular ones are the most interesting for me. Since we all always plan for a bigger tank, the idea of being able to keep the same lighting and just add a module seems like a very financially viable option

6'
54" corner bow
32"

2' long and 2' wide for me. I'd like to have a 3' by 2' though.

mine's 30" but the width is also 30"

90 inches over here

74" , 72" , 48" , 32"

Mine is 8 inches long.

Edit: whoops wrong forum :redface: make that um.. 72 inches.

6 feet

Curently 5', with a 7' upgrade in the making. And a 4'.

7' for me

All y'all with your gigantic tanks. 16" for me. 42" in the future.

5', 44" bow front and a 18" QT has fish I want to get ride of in it with a bunch of LR rubble in it.

Would like a 8' tank but I don't think I could carry it by my self..

size does matter....and the bigger the better......72" for me......wish I had 96"

54" so a 48" fixture centers nicely and looks better on the open top and rimless tank.

7' for me

I have 48x30x20 love it

Two 72" tanks and one 20"x18"x16" cube

:laugh: 28in.

I've heard of that forum. Isn't that on the "Pretend Centimeters are Inches" web site. :mrgreen:

20" here.

96" & 36" sw, 72" & 48" FW & a empty 48' :faint:

6' 210g, 4' 120g, 4' 90 wide, 4' 65g fw planted, 2' cube, 2' hex.

Currenty 48" 90 gallon. In the works 72" 280 gallon. In the future who nows. :biggrin:

Width is also a factor, most fixtures are made to accomadate a max tank width of 24" my tanks are 72" x 36" and 96"x 60" (30""and 32" deep) I would love to upgrade to LED to help cut costs, but there is nothing out there that can do large tanks.
