Are you sure 65g?
Generally theyre 36" long and 18" deep and 23-24" high
Maybe where I ordered it from was wrong? lol if I have more gallons than I thought it would explain a TON of issues... its only one foot wide. I ordered it off of petsmart what do you think @vetteguy53081 ?

Personally I think it is great that young people are into this hobby. There are so many other (likely worse/bad) ways to spend your time/money/effort as a young person. I think this is a hobby that teaches you a lot, doesn't hurt anyone, and helps people feel connected in a community. I'm all for it!

Does R2R have an age requirement to sign up? @revhtree
No,
but aren’t there cheaper and more appropriate firearms and explosives forums you youngsters should be visiting instead of these argumentative and money intensive segments like reefing? :D

…seriously tho, these places would be dead if it wasn’t for young people … heck we should keep age in mind when replying to post

Is this a standard square or reef ready tank?

I saw a meme onetime that said " let your kids spend all their money on reefing so they won't have any for drougs"

And then you find out they were actually synthesizing some new type from the toxins found in corals o_O

Kids, please stay away from it.

If it’s 4x1x2 (roughly) is a standard 55 gallon.

I also believe @vetteguy53081 is asking if the tank is reef ready (with a built in overflow) or just a standard aquarium (no overflow).

But to answer your question, as mentioned, kids are allowed to my knowledge.

I started on forums in 2003 when I was 13. I think there’s a lot more kids on here than we like to think. But most act as adults.
And most of the adults act like kids. Mostly me.

I'm 67 going on 12!
Think it's great to get future reefers interested at a relatively young age ... that way THEY can help ME with the new evolving technologies in the hobby! :rolleyes:

I think it’s cool see a wide range of people here cause we all come from different backgrounds and experiences. I like that I can learn from those who have been in the hobby longer than I’ve been alive as well haha

My tank does not come with a overflow box.. @vetteguy53081 the tank might be 3 feet i have not measured height. If it is lower gallons I will be so sad lol. More gallons I would be happy. I bought it from Petsmart so...
