The 40 Longs that I know of are 48" long not 36". Why not go with a 20 Long or that Mr. Aqua 12 Gallon tank? I think those are the dimensions you're shooting for. You could get a 20L from Petco at their $1 a gallon sale for real cheap.
Where can i get such a tank?

I know! Thats what im looking for. Only problem is that the breeder is tall (well, pretty much standard height, but unnecessary gallonage that i dont need). Im trying to go for the biggest tank possible that i could fit, but that isnt high, to keep the gallonage (Dont even know if thats a word) as low as possible, in hopes that my parents will be OK with me adding another tank in my room.. (Already got my 75G upstairs
not too sure theyll let me put ANOTHER, but i want to get rid of my dresser and put another tank under my TV :/)Anyhow, I did find an old ad on craigslist for a 40L so we'll see what the guy says.
As for dimentions,
40 Longhttp://www.glasscages.com/?sAction=OrderForm&sProdID=AQ_40Long 36 x 18 x 13 Tall
45 Long is the one thats 48" and only like 12" deep.
40 Breeder that i found on ebay is 36 x 18 x 16. Not sure how its 3" taller and ALSO 40 gallons? Friggin weird.
just used a gallon calculator thing. Turns out the 40 Long is actally like 37 gallons and the 40 breeder is actually like 45 or so.. so the 40 long seems decent.
Anyhow, i really dont want to spend like 200$ On just the tank, so i hope the guy on craigslist gets back to me, as hes got a stand and all.
Worst case ill go for a 20L. A bit small but i guess it works for just shrimp. Problem is my Petco is pretty small and even when they have their 1$/gallon sale crap, they dont really have too many tanks.. They had 10's and 20's didnt see any 20L or anything larger lol. When they have the sale they DO bring in 2 or 3 pallets and put them in the middle of the isle so that you could pick and what not but im not sure that the sales going on right now.
Try ~$9,000 in property taxes in CA, and that's with Jarvis Prop 13 that supposedly keeps the RE taxes to 1% of the original value.
What they forgot are all the 'special' assessments that add another ton.
But that's off the subject....
IMO, if you can, go with 40B as it will give you more options now and in the future. An you can always sell the shrimp to pay for it Relatively shallow tanks (~12") pose their own set of unique challenges.

Oo another cool idea. So, there isnt much height clearence under my TV, and its basically permenantly mounted on the wall, so i had a cool idea. How about getting two 20L Tanks and building a custom doublestack type of stand. That is, one tank on top of the other. Anyone do something like that that can post some pictures for "inspiration"? Not sure how im going to do it but i like the idea .

9000 a month? Im talking about 15000 a year. close to 16 now, haha.Try ~$9,000 in property taxes in CA, and that's with Jarvis Prop 13 that supposedly keeps the RE taxes to 1% of the original value.

I Guess it depends on the size of the house your comparing to mine. Dont even know how big our house is exactly, but i know 2 or 3 towns over they are paying 9000 for a house twice the size, haha.
Anyhow, im thinking either 40B or two 20L Tanks one on top of the other (With a few inches in between, obviously, so i have room for my hands and stuff).
