I'm thinking of getting this for Ashi & Shuto... probably the 75 gallon size, but MAYBE the 100... I'm not familiar with the material used to make it, if it's "tort safe" LOL! Also I'm wondering if anyone has one of this type, if you can tell me the actually measurements of the BOTTOM of it (living space) because I assume the measurements on there is for the top (bigger) part.

Kelly I can go and measure my 50 gallon floor and my 150 gallon floor for you. I got mine cheaper at my local farm store and its a very light material. Very easy to move around. You could take a ride up here and I could ride over with you to pick one up. I think I gave $70 for the 6ft long 150 gallon.

Dude I'd love to drive out there and pick one up there, but I think I'd need to take some seats out of the van to do it, which means not all the kids could fit in, and LOL I don't have anyone to watch the kids these days as my mom is in Florida for the next two months!

But yah if you could measure the floor! The 60 & 75 gallons at Farm & Fleet aren't too much... but the bigger are so expensive! LOL! But in the long run might be worth it to go HUGE. I'd like to be able to house all of my big RF's together at some point in the future... after quarantine and all that....

actually i might be able to fit one in if i angle it up... lmk what the dimensions are on the ones they sell by you and i'll measure my van... LOL! how far of a drive is it again?

Took me about an hour to get to the Monona Show. Ill go measure in a few mins when I turn lights off.

OK here are the floor measurements (actual measurements with lip of tank in parenthesis.)

50 gal:
paid $65
(52") 46" long
(31") 23.5" wide


150 gal:
paid $70
(77") 67" long
(31") 25" wide

yah the farm & fleet in my city has that in stock, actually.

anja I did the math for gas for my gas-guzzling beast (the passenger van) and it'd almost come out the same as if i just bought the 100 gallon at F&F here! LOL! but of course if i were going out there for another reason, well then... it'd pay off! LOL!

Well we shall see right?


I WISH we had a Tractor Supply Company here! Im from the south, LOVE TSC! lol

Don't mean to ruin the whole plan guys.. but consider this.. might be much easier and the whole family can get in on the project Kelly!

Doesn't Walmart have a 2' x 6' bookcase that you put together with a screw driver? I have one next to my computer table! And it's 1' deep which is the PERFECT height to lay that board across that has the undercabinet light fixture mounted to!
It comes in a box that will slide under the seats of your van! Plus it costs no more than that 'tub' which is extreme overkill and you would have to get creative to mount the light and the heat-emitter.. because it's made of plastic and the walls are entirely too TALL!

Screw a 1/2" piece of plywood or OSB on the back of the bookcase and line it like we show in the Housing page.. http://www.redfoots.com/yenclose.htm

You can make legs or set it on 5 gal. buckets.. [ again perfect height ] and then staple a vinyl ( whatever ) tablecloth around the bottom to make a 'skirt'.. where you can hide the stuff under it needed to maintain!

Huh?.. huh?
