    Please help me out, why can't I find one? 16 Gallons High / 18 high? Am I completely missing something here? I need some sort of aquarium with MAX gallons avaliable to fit: Less than 24" L by 10" W, Height does not matter. Please help! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/ermm.gif

    Your details are a little wild. Off the top of my head I can think of a Marineland ultra high that sits 20t 10l and 20 h and is 20 gallons unless you are custom making them tanks Come on some pretty stock dimensions.

    Finding a retailer / seller is an issue.


    A listing on ebay (New) ended at $150 after added shipping.


    Found one but the price seems pretty high:

    ($200) http://www.dtpetsupplies.com/catalog/20-gallon-extra-high-tank-black-20x10x24-p-59242.html


    Sorry for expressing my grief, I think my problem was magnified by initially trying to search for it on my phone.


    It appears that I could get something much larger for that price... Unless someone finds one / it pops up somewhere.

    Your LfS should be able to order it for you. At those dimensions your only choice is a 20ultra tall fr marineland.

    The ark and divygs are marineland resellers. And outsmart usually is they may be able especial order it for you.

    Thanks, I'll check. Otherwise I'm open to offers on something larger than 20g, (not a biocube or a 29g) around $100 my time frame is about a month or so.

    IMO I would not start a reef tank at anything lower than a 40 breaded.that is just my preference for depth of field. Other than that the smaller tanks end up looking like rock walls. At 100 bucks you should be able to find a fine tank used and even resealed for that price.

    I've got a 29 gal biocube that would be nice for a small reef tank.

    I was hoping to steer away from the biocube since I have my system setup for my aquariums to mix together in a sump. What use would I have for the compartments in the back? I suppose I don't know lots about them, I'd very much like to avoid spending on biocube components. Pretty much I'm just looking for a bottom and 4 walls... with a decent florescent light if its a bargain... PM me with a price.

    Sounds to me like you need to glue your own or get one of our LFS to order one in for you. I have a 20g ( still has livestock in it though), a 29g (also still has livestock), in it. Not sure if your interested in either of those. We have done biocubes...good little tanks but not really a sump kind of tank. Let us know if you want to come check any of it out.
