    Love the look of that big tank, but dang - it would be like trying to find a space to move a Volkswagon into the house.
    Lmao you're right, I do get a discount. A 20 is sufficient?

    Depends.
    Probably sufficient, but not sure if it would be ideal. Most people suggest adding the lengths of the two sides (30+12=42 inches), and will change up in size when the snake's length in inches exceeds that measurement.

    Would your store still honour your discount on a special order? You might be able to get a deal on a really big tank that way.

    If you want a bigger tank, you could just wait until petcos dollar per gallon sale starts up again. That's usually when I buy my tanks.
