looking at the 240 72" x 30x 24 i think are dimensions...
i considered buying the glass and putting together myself, but my wife doesnt trust me (neither do i
)
reason i don't like tall is its hard enough with my 120 to reach the bottom
i like longer than48 and wider than 24...if my wife let me i think i would get the 48x48x24 but i dont know where i would put it...i have a spot to open up a wall between living room and garage and make the tank in the wall, 72" would be sweet
just gotta start an IRA to save up for the tank hehe
lighting i would go (for me) with t5's...gives more options with varying color and with enough bulbs should be plenty for the tank... i have a friend who measured light and got comparable readings to dual 250MH on his 180 with 10 t5 bulbs
