Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'm working on saving up for a 72 gallon tank and I'm really excited about the possibility of keeping some malawis in it. I've been doing some research and I'm having a hard time deciding on a stock list. Ideally, I'd love to have acei, saulosi, yellow labs, cobalt blues, and ndumbi red tops all in the same tank. Has anyone else had any experience with a similar setup? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And on a totally unrelated note, does anyone have a 300 gallon tank they're looking to get rid of?

just wondering, what's the dimensions of the 72 gallon tank you're planning on getting?

Cheers for askin, kalevi. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure on the dimensions, just that it's 4 foot long. I'm thinkin' of either gettin' the 4ft or maybe upgradin' to a 5ft by 1.5ft by 1.5ft, depends which one's the better option, really.

4ft is alright but honestly, 5ft is the way to go.

the 5ft one is just the glass, so its a fair bit cheaper. i'll save myself 200 quid and build a stand for it instead. the 4ft one has the stand and all that jazz, but i don't mind DIY. my main concern is, is 18x18 too small for the width and height? i'm thinking of using a 23x11x16 (LWD) tank as a sump tank, so that's a decent size. back to plan A it is then. i'm alright with making things, but fish tanks are so bloomin heavy, i'm getting a bit worried. regarding the fish, do they all get along if you overstock them properly? thanks for all the help, mate.
