30G long for a GSP

Post by By_a_coo »

Hi all,

I'd like to know the usual measures in lenght X width X height for a 30g for one GSP (this tank will have a sump). It doesn't matter if you tell me it in inches or centimeters.

Thanks in advance.

~36"+ L x ~12"+D x ~16"+H. Exact dimensions can vary a bit by brand.

Swimmy, I hate to tell you this but that's not a 30, that's a 29. And a 29 technically only holds 25 gallons, they just call it a 29 to differentiate from the standard 25 (and of course, people buy it thinking they are getting a bigger tank).

30 gallon tanks come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, cubes, corner, hex, tall, long, etc. But I agree, the standard 30 gallon tank is generally 36x12x16.

And if it helps, since you mentioned a 30 long..

I had a 33 extra long, it was 48x12x12, insanely great tank for growing live plants as the distance to the substrate was very short. That was a fun, fun tank. I wish I'd never given it away, but didn't have the storage room.

Wow that would have made a killer fiddler crab tank too, Myaj.
