This has been a requested club as of late.

Specifically made for people using the 18"inch long Deep Blue Professional nano, this is a membership where we can chat about tanks, link our journals and see some pictures.

Just because it was made just for the 3.2 gal 18x6x6 tank doesn't mean other people with DBP tanks can't join! I personally own two, but I love the product. It is a great and cheap product which is well constructed and reliable.

I'll start this off with a picture of my own:

And I'll end it with the list I'll keep as recent as possible.

Our first member introduced many of us to these tanks. Kudos to Somewhatshocked

Haha not a RAOK but that works.

Make sure you all link your journals if you have them.

 

[MABJ]

Can you link that LED light you have on your tank MABJ?

Check out my journal in my signature.

It is from eBay and is an 18" beamsworks LED light.

 

[MABJ]

Lol almost the same post, actually

 

[MABJ]

What will our sig line tag be? DBP Club? or something with pimpery associated as is custom with many other groups?

That was a discussion actually. I think we will forego the pimpery and just tag DBP #X

We could always try something else out that someone suggests.

 

[MABJ]

I'm in! Love mine so much. I will have to figure out pictures and a journal now, since it has finally quit looking janky.

Welcome number five! Looking forward to the journal/pics!

 

[MABJ]

I'd like to be a part of this! I have had my 18" DBP for a few months, but am about to tear it down and re-build.

Hehe if you need any help you can ask any of us. Welcome, number six!

 

[MABJ]

Had one for a while, did they change dimensions? Mine was sold and package said 2.3g 5way betta 18x5x7. No ruler to measure though but it isn't the same height as width

I think it's just a small difference in measurements. It really is just about 2.8 gallons. The volume formula shows us that lol.

It really is the same tank though.

Wish this sites pic uploading was iPad friendly

It is. Try tapatalk

 

[MABJ]

Agreed lol. Nice HC

 

[MABJ]

Bought one of these from my LFS, on the way home the inner glass included shifted and completely cracked the end pane. It was secured fine just a normal shift from the 5 minute drive. Anyone else have this happen? DBP just told me tough luck so I am unsure if I should buy another. Shame I love this shape for shrimp.

As with any glass, I'd say don't let objects with points bang into a pane with any force.

I've heard of one being shattered in shipping, but DBP replaced it.

I'd say just remove the stuff from the inside while transporting.

 

[MABJ]

Yeah sorry to hear that :/

Curious though, what did you pay?

 

[MABJ]

I guess I would be lucky number 7! I haven't updated my tank journal in a while but the link is in my sig. The tank is currently a hot mess with hair algae everywhere there isn't duckweed. I am hoping to get some time to rehab it in April.

Welcome number seven!

 

[MABJ]

I was curious about this too, as there were different reports from various people on the measurements. When mine arrived it states 18x6x7 on the tank sticker, and I measured it at 6" deep. As far as gallonage is concerned, it's debated. They are often referred to as 3 gallon longs, but not really 3 gallons. Anyone know exact gallonage?

3.2 gallons if it is 18x6x7

2.8 if it is 18x6x6

 

[MABJ]

I really think we should have a tag line. But yeah for the longest time I thought it was 2.3 gallons. I never actually did the volume formula on it before a few months ago.

18x6x6/231=G

 

[MABJ]

thats the link i can across but it looks to be split into 5 sections?

dont see how its really the same?

This is the allpet link I discovered. They used to sell on amazon and now that they don't the price is high.

 

[MABJ]

Welcome number 8 and number 9

 

[MABJ]

Do you think that LED light can grow HC and have co2?

Worth a shot. I could use Co2 on mine now, I get a little algae.

 

[MABJ]

Am I #8?

Lol you can always check the list, but yep!

 

[MABJ]

Hambone, MABJ's link above is where I ordered mine. (Thank you, MABJ!)

You slide the glass dividers into little notches in the top rim. The notches are all that holds them in place, so the tank looks just fine if you don't use them.

My tank's sticker says 18" x 6" x 7", and measures 18 inches wide, 7 inches tall, and 6 inches from the back of the tank to the front.

Can't wait to set mine up! Hopefully, I'll have time this weekend.

Can't wait to see it. Thanks for the measurement
