110XH a good deal?

[NJ Devils Fan]

I was just asking because if a tank is over 3 ft high, it could cause a problem for the floor.

yup, a 110xh is 48x18x30

they look great, tough to clean though.

id use sand just because it would be easier than trying to clean gravel.

I would agree with the tough to clean comments. I am 6'4" and would definitely need a step stool to work inside the thing. It is a downside that I would have to put up with to get a large tank in the wall space that I have available.

Structural issues is another good one. I will put the tank against an outer wall so that it crosses multiple floor joists which are resting on the foundation. I might place a post and header under it for extra safety unless one of my engineering coworkers indicate that a steady load of approx 200 lb/ft2 is not a problem. Given its location, it may not actually be a problem.

Thanks all.

I think I'll go ask my wife if I have $600. I wonder what ever happened to "my" money.

A 120 gallon tank is 48½" x 24½" x 25½".

I have a 24" tall tank and have a step stool that I keep right by it for when needed. The step stool cost me 7.oo at k-mart and is real nice. It folds up easily and I have no trouble using it for cleaning the tank! Without it it would be a bit tuff.

Thats tank, filled with water and gravel and decorations would weigh around 1,000 lbs.
