120 gallon vs 125 gallon Cichlid Fish Tank

[Alex]

Ok Cichlid Enthusiasts,

Which tank would you recommend due to the dimension differences; the 120 gallon tank sitting the 4'x2'x2' footprint or the 125 on the 721/2" x 18" x 23" footprint.

The collection that I have is more eclectic contain Mauna, Haps and Tropheus. Everyone has all gotten along and done well for the last year or so.

Definitely more surface area with the 125g, so I'd go that route.

Six footer definitely...

And kick it up to a 180g.

6FT is much better than 4FT

since all of your fish will be able to comfortably turn around within the 18" wide side definitely go with the longer tank to give them more swim distance. If you can go with both 72" x 24" dimensions that would be boss.

Def 6'
If u can go 6" more in width get a 180(7x24)

6 Foot

Everytime I set up a 6' 125g, I kick myself for not going for the 180g. Don't be me, find a 180g!

Definitely 6 ft tank. Are all those fish in the same tank?

I agree that the 6' tank would be my choice between the two. The 4'x2'x2' just doesn't give as much swimming room for the fish. I've never really been a fan of that tank size.
