I wouldn't think so, a longer tank that wasn't as wide or high would be better than that. If I was going to get one I would want a 4ft long tank for one.

Christ that's a lot of money for that size tank.
Have a look at these prices with cabinets.

I take it there is limited space for the tank?

i have 70cm width to play with. a 63 gallon tank that fits into that width... its the only one!

id love to be able to have a 4 foot tank, but theres just no room. the other option is the 80 gallon corner tank for £600. however, the 63 gallon keeps my other half happier. however, the corner is far more appealing! so i may just get it and tell him after,lol. esp seeing as the 80 gallon is a better make and not that much more expensive, and a good size width wise for the puffer.

Well there's certainly enough gallons but I dont know whether the tank footprint would be suitable for them. I'm sure someone else will know.
