Im trying to figure out what sizes are the most common. I don't need dimensions unless it is a custom build. Just basic info. 10 G, 20 long, 20 tall, 29 G, you get the idea. Thanks!
40 gal but I’m definitely getting something bigger cuz im always adding stuff lol

Here's a volume calculator I used to find out the size of my tank. It says yours is a 79 gallon.

My tank is a 65 g exoterra

72 gal bowfront & 36 gal bowfront, a 29 gal and a 40.

Ps- that’s so awesome! I just love your creativity with all of that! You can’t make enough backgrounds before CrabCon- they’re gonna sell out in an instant!

What Size Crabitats Does Everyone Have?

120gallon, 55gallon, and a 10gallon that have crabs in them currently. I’m trying to decide if I want to set up my hex tank, which I have no idea what the measurements are on that but that would be a really cool tank for one of your backgrounds. How about any custom orders?
