Does anyone know the dimensions of the 230 gal tanks on sale at Aquarium Illusions on boxing day?

A standard 230 is typically 72x30x24. Sometimes the 30 and 24 dimensions are flipflopped, ie some are 30 tall and 24 wide and some are 24 tall 30 wide. I'm not sure which one is the "more standarder" 230.

Thanks for the information. I was looking for a 24 X 24 X 96 which is approx. 230 gallons. Either plexi-glass or glass. Does anyone have a price on a plexi-glass tank in those dimensions?

Ok The Boxing Day Sales for 2006 are History.

So lets hear what you bought.

Other than staple items salt, and light bulbs I got a great Scotts Fairy Wrasse and an orchid dottyback for the 125G

I ordered about 400 bucks online from J&L, my uncle felt quite generous this year i guess. Their sale is today and the 27th, nothing can make me go into stores on boxing day and deal with turkey stuffed fools looking for a bargain (Not at the fish stores... everywhere else)

I put in 2 good size orders with Ocean Aquatics and J&L. I just wish I could have been down there to take advantage of the fishies and corals. I hope there is still something left when I get down there on the 30th

5 cromis
3 clowns
and some beautifull zoos and some hammer.
I would have got a ton more but we had to go to little oceans after i spent all my money.. All i have to say is im going to be going there first from now on great people and even better corals and fish.
the zoos i got are the size of a kids fist with about 100 polys on it and it was 38 bucks and there a really nice pink
