I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good place to look to purchase a large tank. I am beginning to plan for an upgrade. What are the typical sizes of commonly manufacturer tanks..I dont want to pay for a custom size. I am looking to buy one that is somewhere in the range of 4'x6'x4'...LxHxW. Of course I am flexible but just a rough size estimate? Thanks for the info. By the way how many gallons would that be? What the equation for calculating?

The formula is LxWxH (in inches) /231. Your tank would be 718 gallons. Why do you want to go 6' deep. How in the **** are you gonna reach the bottom????
Are you going acrylic or glass?
Acrylic is gonna be real expensive due to the rise in costs, and glass is just gonna be plain heavy!!!
Tenecor and IAP are 2 of the acrylic manufacturers. There are a couple of glass tank manufaturers in Canada, Bow Valley is in Calgary, and I can't remeber the name of the other one. Maybe someone else will chime in.

Look around your area for local tank builders.....I don't know where you live but there are tons of them here in So Cal.
