I see conflicting accounts on tank dimensions. can someone measure the actual size of the living space the fish have? NOT including the components.

I no longer have the tank, but it is extremely small. If you look to the outside dimensions, it appears to have a nice foot print with ample "floor space", but you will lose approximately 3-4" on the rear side to accommodate an inadequate filter system. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TANK FOR ANY REASON.

Hey Patrick, I have 2 of these tank 9 gallon setups. The height is about 15-1/2 - 16" There are little feet on the bottom so the tank won't ruin the counter top. The little lamps are awesome, but not really well made. I wish the lamps were sold separately so I found put one on my little run-of-the-mill 2 gallon backup tank. Also, the company stands behind their product if you have any difficulty. Cheers!

it might be a little to much. I have it in a 29g currently and it's okay for my convict breeding pair. I tried to put it in a 20 long planted tank before and it was overkill. hope this helps

It's 10 3/4"wide . If you are considering this tank, consider upgrading the filter from the very start. The one that comes with it is too small, and mine died the first day. I had an extra whisper10 that I used, and the water has been crystal clear, and the fish have been healthy from the start. Don't overcrowd- 6 gallons isn't much!

Don't recall the exact dimensions. But it's flatfish. Not more than 4 inches

Dimensions of the unit are a I believe 8 3/4 inches x 15 1/2 inches with the unit being 2 inches thick. How many you need for a 75 gallon tank is a loaded question. Depends on what size "footprint" and "depth" of 75 gallon tank you have. Also, what are you putting in the tank? I'm going to answer the question based on the most common 75 footprint.You could get by with 1 if you are not doing in SPS of LPS. If you just want to do some soft corals, one would probably give you the look you want.I would honestly do two though for a tank that size. But I do a mixed reef of everything so....\Hope this helps.

The tank is 6.6 gallons, a pretty decent size and it doesn't have a large 'footprint' (meaning it doesn't stick out far from the wall or whatever you put it against).

I put the dimensions in an answer above - it may be tight, but it could fit. You'll want a little extra room around the sides and between the bottom of the tank and the bottom of the filter for proper water flow. You mentioned the tank being cloudy - is it a planted aquarium? I ask because we had the same issue and it was a two part problem. First I reduced the light cycle to only 6 hours a day for two weeks. The other half of the problem was that I was adding organic carbon late in the light cycle, feeding the organisms at top and turning our water cloudy. You need to add it right when the light comes on to help avoid this. I put the dimensions in an answer above - it may be tight, but it could fit.

We have not set it up yet because it is a birthday gift for my son. However I have talked to pet store people and they say you can put 1 inch of fish per gallon....so if it is a 5 gallon tank you can put 5 inches of fish. Then you could have 2 2.5 inch fish or about 6 fish that are 3/4 an inch. I hope this helps

I believe if you put the whole thing in the sump you need and opening (min) 4x6.. I made sump and it's from a 20 gal breeder tank... didn't fit (barely) and the opening is 5.5x12.. so I hung it on the back side like you normally would if using on the tank. I almost prefer having it that way so I can put more crap on the over flow side of the sump. Clears up a lot of space

I have mine on the bottom of the tank, then I put in substrate around it, it is about an inch above the level of the substrate, and extends perhaps three inches on the two sides, so if it was a square size, instead of the sector of a circle, it would be about three by three, or nine square inches of floor space, extending up about three inches too. In my 20g High tank it's barely noticeable.

Sorry for the delayed response....holidays still have me running crazy! Stands between 12-15 inches tall. This is a really nice aquarium. I use it for a betta and he loves it!

I never measured it, but I am thinking it is a 5 gallon. My husband has used it with various kits and has not run into any "space" problems.

I have it in a 1.5 gal glo fish tank. It's a square, 7.5 " tank and the depth is a little under 7". The filter fits it perfectly. The filter that came with it was too small to be useful. This gets good flow and it is a cartridge filter system so they replace easily. I've had 2 of the tetra glo fish and a cory cat for about a year now. They do fine in the tank, I have a small plant in front of it to diffuse the intake some and the fish have been fine. In your question you asked about the half moon. That one I would not recommend due to the shape and space, but a square tank with the filter in either back corner should be fine. I have it in a 1.5 gal glo fish tank.

It is 11" x 11" x 11" x 11" x 11" x 11" it fit perfectly on my old 35 gallon tank. I could not be more happier than when my tank was new.

my tank is 30 x 12 and this fits perfect. I think you might have a minor 1" gap on the long edge. There would be greater evaporation, possible spot for certain fish to jump out. Or find something to cover the gap.

NO! It is a great tank, but it is very small. It is good for 1 to 3 small fish. I have 1 beta in mine. I also have a turtle. He is currently in a 29 gallon tank which is really too small for him. Turtles need space.
