Hi all,as some off u know I need a bigger tank.I've worked out
that I can have a 2foot tank but I'd realy like a 3foot one.
The thing is it must be 14" wide max, do 3 foot tanks come that
small or can I only have a 2 foot one?
Or even a custom made tank maybe??

I would get it made it should not cost a bomb get as big a tank as you can fit in
well ive just found that a "JUWEL REKORD 800" is a perfect fit.
31" long,14" wide and 18" height,
the cheapist ive found is £132.95 from seapets.co.uk

I have always liked the Juwel filters, they have a very large capacity compared to equivalent internal filters and you can store the heater in them (heat is distributed very well in the tank) and they are easily accessible. Their problems are that they are large, obtrusive and are fixed to the glass.

The older Reckord range had a problem with the lids. Because they werent fixed, water was liable to trickle down the glass. I dont know whether this has been rectified in the newer range. Aside from that they are simple but good small tank.
