110 gallon TALL set ups

uhgster1 · Feb 13, 2022

I’m considering a 110 gallon tall reef ready aquarium I saw at a store. I’ve never seen this standard size. I was told it uses the same stand as a 75/90 gallon aquarium. I’m imagining a really awesome aquascape but am weary about the actual maintenance/ accessibility/ fish swim space. Does anyone here have one of these setup that could put some pictures up? I’d really appreciate it.

It could be really cool as a FOWLR with a giant bottom to top rock-stack (cemented together) in the middle, with 360-degree swim room.

It’s going to be a mixed reef if I go for it. Right now I have a 65 gallon that’s 26 inches tall. This 110 I saw is about 32 inches tall.

Yeah that's exactly what I'm planning. I just purchased one of these 110g tall from a old reefer. Same. Dimensions as 75 and 90g but 30 inch tall. He referred to it as a show tank when he purchased it 30plus years ago. I'm planning to make a build thread soon after I get more equipment and stuff rdy

I found a few videos on YouTube if you search 110g tall you can check those setups out

I like tall tanks or column tanks myself...I like the water column they provide to the viewer and fish.

I know this smaller tank is a little bit ‘apples and oranges’ to your 110-gallon Tall, but the FOWLR concept would be the fairly massive centered rock stack. I saw a 150 tall like that at an LFS with just a few big fish— Emperor Angel was one, and it was very cool. Great filtration was the key.
