    I picked up a tank of Craigslist, and I haven't been able to find any information about it, and was wondering if anyone here knows about it before I contact Aqueon. The tank dimensions are roughly 72" Wide by 22" tall by 13" deep. Which according to my calculations is about 85 gallons. The sticker on the bottom of the tank says it was constructed in Dec 1995, and there is AGA branding all over it.

    Here is a picture for reference.

    what info are you needing? if its for tempered glass or not, you will be better off contacting the company. as far as gallons of water, they are calculators around here for that. im thinking a 6' long tank would be more than 85 gal. but i could be wrong. by the way welcome to 3reef!!!;D;D;D

    I probably should've clarified, but i'm looking to find out what the model tank is, and which if any panels are tempered. I've been trying to find others with this size tank so I can see what they have done. When looking at it directly, it looks dead on like a 125, but it's missing 1/3 of the front to back depth.

    So I guess no one has heard of a tank this size.

    The formula is 72X22X13/231 =89.14 gallons

    That is an odd sized tank. 13" deep basically makes it a long 55g, or a not so deep 125g.

    Thanks, but I've already checked there with no such luck either.
    Oops, I meant to say between 85 and 90, but thanks for clarifying.
    Exactly, it's 1.5 55 gallon tanks, or 2/3rds of a 125.

    The one thing the Aqueon/AGA site tells you is all their larger tanks have a tempered bottom. Drilling the bottom is out for sure.
