Coral Magazine had a nice feature on a tank dedicated to Coral Shrimpfish. Kind of like a Where's Waldo thing but pretty neat!

I agree with bill my tank is 31 deep.. A pain but I am goin to love it when it's fully stocked. Very different kind of tanks..

I agree with Bill about the pressure issue. those dimensions could potentially make the glass have to be fairly thick driving up the price, course its custom so w/e. But also if you (and I really mean Jack) are planning on making a stand for the tank make sure its built extra strong because the height being so tall means a lot more weight over a smaller surface area so a lot of downward force on your stand. So you will probably not want tile under it as the stand could crack it. maybe? And then the only other potential problem I see with a tank this deep is flow and filtration. On the 6 foot deep tanks that I have cleaned and worked on the problem is getting good flow and even intake along the full length of the tank. It will be more important to make sure you keep the bad stuff suspended so it doesn't settle because that will make cleaning that much more difficult. If you have a standard overflow box this will negate some of these issues. but keeping the flow good without dead spots or areas of super high flow could prove problematic depending on how you go about it.

Very true, Anything this large and out of the ordinary specs is going to drive the cost up a lot. A couple of years ago I was calling around and glass cages quoted me near $1700 for a similar setup. long, tall and narrow. It was going to be a room divider... That cost was coming from glass cages and they are cheaper than a lot of the other builders.

Plenty of people on maast that know people so im sure Rob can find a good deal.

You probably won't have to worry about you tile. I don't think the height will have much of an effect on the pressure. Tanks and stands are often overbuilt, but then again it’s not going in my house. Better safe then sorry, I think Jose tank is 36 inches.
