those are rough dimensions to work with, id never have less then 24" wide tank

+1 that would look like a really long 55g tank. I would go with at least a 125g if your looking for a 6ft long tank .

100 gallon tank isn't a popular/common standard tank sold regularly.

You would have to contact a custom company most likely...

they'd want to do a 125 gallon tank, which is 72 x 18 x 22 unfortunately...

Tell Pete to stay away from that size and go with the 4' 120 or a 6' 150

they wanted to stay around 100 gallons cause they rent were they live thats why i said get this tank...and it is not deep so they would not need any crazy lighting ....he's probably going to go with a standard 75 gallon rr....which i think is toltally fine ....

120 4 x 2 x 2 would be nice, 75s are nice but kind of short.

It's already been said here that tank depth (front to back) is a good thing, so I'll just add myself to the list. Depending on the choice and arrangement of rocks, you'd be amazed how much "breathing room" you get when you go to 24" deep.

Another consideration is cost. They do make them. I've seen them offered, and you'll see the dimensions on the Aqueon website. What you won't find on the site is the price. There's a bunch of tank sizes that just cost more, and you'll have to wait for them. That 100G is one of them, and will most likely cost more than a RR 125G. That's just a guesstimate, but I'd bet I'm not too far off. I'm pretty sure Thatpetplace in Pa. still lists prices for tanks, so you could just check there to get a reference point.

Got curious about this. Perfecto, Aqueon, and Oceanic don't offer those dimensions. If they are bent on those dimensions, looks like it's acrylic.
