You'll have to go custom for a tank wider than 24". Standard tanks max out at 24" width because the demand is lower for wider tanks. Most people put tanks against the wall and don't want anything protruding out more than 2 feet and most light fixtures won't light up a tank wider than 2' properly.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Just to be clear I was looking for a tank with a width greater than 24" as I've seen a few used ones for sale on here that were 30" wide. I did some calling around as well and it looks like the only ones I could find were the Marineland Deep Dimension tanks. I guess I'll have to go custom since I'd rather have a center or side overflow.

Ya, you will definitely have to go custom for a wider tank. I got my 168g 48lx30wx27h from Red Coral.
