what size tank fits this foot?
My uncle made me a gorgeous stand for my 38g. I could put a slightly larger tank onto this stand and was just curious what would fit? Can you help me?
The biggest I can go on this stand is 40"L x 14 1/2"W, and as tall as I can get! lol! Thanks!

yeah, but if I'm spending hundreds of dollars I want to be able to see the difference!  I thought maybe there would be a taller version of the 38g?
well someday...

and here is a local company I have gotten tanks from
http://glasscages.com/?sAction=ViewCat&lCatID=2
www.glasscages.com
They have different tank sizes listed they sell. largest looks like that would work for you is a 45 gallon tall. Too bad the stand wasnt 3.5 inches wider  |

just a tid-bit to add.
The taller the tank, the more powerful lights you'll need.
I forget the exact numbers, but over 24", I think you need at least 250W MH lights. much taller than that, and you'll need 400W.
pretty big difference in electric bills there.
