dbartco May 10, 2010 Share May 10, 2010 lanman has a nice 65 fs, bout the same footprint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite May 10, 2010 Share May 10, 2010 (edited) Why exactly are you looking for a 45g? Doug suggested Bob's 65g - it is the same length and height, but is 18" wide instead of just 12" wide. I switched from a 45 to a 65 and the difference was incredible regardless of volume. A 58g is also 36" by 18", but is shorter than the 45g and 65g, so you bet more light penetrating to the bottom of the tank than you would with a 45 or 65.

trockafella May 10, 2010 Share May 10, 2010 There is the 57gal oceanic illuminata, Reef ready and rimless.. just about the same footprint as the 65, but it is a beautiful tank.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwndsh May 10, 2010 Share May 10, 2010 I have a 45g with a whole for a 2" bulk head drilled in the top back right (left if you are looking at the back) corner and the back is painted black. Its never had water in it. Might be able to work out a deal if you are interested in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemesis84 May 10, 2010 Author Share May 10, 2010 I'm looking for a 45 because that is the footprint I need to slide into my stand (36"x12"). I'll give BRK a call on Wednesday when they open. Thanks, Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Frank When I went from a 45 to a 65, I just put a wood top over the top of the stand, which would stick out by 3.5" in front and 3.5" in back, not at all on the ends, so the tank fit in exactly the same space in front of the wall as the 45. Just stain that top the color of the stand before putting the tank on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
