I think the fact it's more tall instead of long would make it bad for a puffer, at least a fahaka.FADE2BLACK_1973 wrote:That would make and awesome Fahaka puffer tank

Looks about the size of a 120 gal. but deeper which makes it 155 gal. tall or deep.

I thought of using this one as a porky puff tank and getting a longer tank for my GF. Its 4'x2'x3' Yes thats in feet. Plenty of turning space. See OP for the pics of me beside it.

I didn't think turning space was the problem, I was figuring length would be.

Some say that turning space is more important but some people do say their's do well in a 125 because of the swimming room.

Glitter, I agree that more room to swim is a huge plus
. But just saying that it's recommended as a minimum tank size. Thats what Im trying to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that I never get things out fully when I say something. Im bad about not finishing....LOL.Chris,
