Changing new 3ft tank. Need advice.

[Bangwalldie]

I used to have a 90cm(length) by 40(breadth) by 60cm(height) tank but it had a crack so I will need to change the tank. May I know what's the average height or breadth of a 3ft tank? , I know my original tank height is slightly taller and I have difficulties doing maintenance. Currently now the tank is filled with 1/4 with soil and driftwood tied with moss. There is some BGA on the soil, so can I reuse the soil or I need to purchase a new one? And what's the average cost of a 3ft tank ?

Thank you! May I know what's the difference between the 4 types of quality you mention and as for the soil do I reuse it or purchase a new one?
Many thanks.

If there is bGA in the soil, I wouldn't recommend you to reuse them. You will have a harder time to remove it once they spread. The saving is not worth it to me.

Depth of the tank also depends on the lighting you using if it can penetrates to the substrate lvl.

And 3 feet tank is not common locally I feel, most of the time you need to custom it.

Basically bracing and eurobracing are aquarium tanks with support if u are going for look braceless tank are meant for u it will cost much more than bracing tank .
Crystal glass tank are made of high quality glass which in turn have better clarity than normal glass . I know of friends that custom 3ft tank with front crystal glass only to save cost .
