    Looking to step up to a bigger tank. I want a four foot tank in the 90 to 150 gallon range. Looking for a predrilled tank too, I can't have the tank away from the wall for my plan. whole system or just a tank. if you've got something like that, let me know.

    When did it become a thing to call a 120 2x2x4 a "fat boy"? I didn't start seeing this until recently...

    @Bud@Bud I think there is a 5 or 6 foot 120 factory produced tank as well so they call this one a fatboy to distinguish between the two. The first time I heard it was on YouTube by one of the big names on there... maybe Jake Adams, Joey Mullen or Mark Levinson I don't remember which one tho

    I think they have tank envy of the deep dimensions so they had to make their tanks sound cooler with the term fatboy. :D

    120 = 4'x2'x2'
    125 = 18"x6'x2'
    That's how I always knew them. And that probably drives from the dimensions on the 2 big manufacturers.
    Then typically if someone had a 5' tank they would specify it because it's not really a standard size.
