Craigslist WINS again!..or more so I do

I have a 40 gallon tall that is 36x12.5x20..( ok so 39:p)

been looking at getting a larger tank that was 36 inches long to upgrade to...due to space issues.

they sell 65s with a foot print 36x18x24


Well yesterday I found add on CL for a "55" gallon tank for 80$..they said the dimensions were 36.5x18.5x25.5....hmm looked it up on the calculator and its a 73 gallon tank!....
called them and they took 70$ for there 55 gallon tank ^_^ lol!!

I love the foot print of this tank it will be my largest tank I have ever had set up!!!...soon as a build a stand for it...next payday.

My 40 gallon Tinanti tank will be upgraded to this beauty.

its filled up now and going to sit until I can get the stand made.

ill be filtering it with the Cascade 1200 behind the tank (used it to fill it)

Stock

6 Steatocranus Tinanti 3 males 3 females
2 midnight cats..they are 1.5 inches at the moment..might bet a 3rd
a few male and female guppies. and one female betta
This is a video of the current 40 gallon..everything in it is going to the 70

Those dimensions are the same as my 65g (calculates of outer dimensions of glass to around 70g). They always round the exact dimensions on stock lists. It makes up for the thickness of the glass in this case. The measurements they probably gave you also was measured from the frame around the tank and not the glass.

Basically, I am saying it is usually referred to as a 65g, though in your case a very nice looking 65g.

(They really should be called 68g)
