Minimum height for pseuda tank

[thegeeman]

Anyone got any suggestions about the height of a 6ft that is going to house pseuda? I presume floor space is more important than the height of the tank.

I think 18'' should do. Is it for L65s?

No, The L65,s are going in a 5ft. I was planning on getting some 114,s for the 6ft.

18" deep will be fine, you are right about the footprint being more important than depth, if you could have 72 x 24 (or better still 30) x 18", that would be cool, that is if you're having a custom tank.

I can go to 8ft but I dont really want to for just a couple 114,s. So 6ft x 2ft width x 18" high will be ok then?

I think that size should be just fine,especially if you're only going to have a couple of them. Let me know if this tank works well, as this is the size that I plan on getting for my L25. I would definately have lots of line of sight barriers.

 

[dconnors]

After thinking about it, if I could go 8ft I definately would. It probably would'nt cost much more, and you never know what you may end up with down the road (Megalancistrus?:whistle

18" should be fine for L114's

as for an L25's tank size - I wouldnt want to see mine go for a swim and crack its head on the glass covers - or straight out the tank...

It dosnt count at the moment as I've only got a rio 240 and a fluval 1200 (200l) running since the move

BUT The tank I'm about to have made is 6' x 2' and 30" tall

Will be getting the inhabitants of both the 200l tanks (L024 and L014 being the biggest growers... but I've got a long time before they get to a good size
