Well, wifey talked some sense into me yesterday.
The new tank will only be 24" tall.
I am 5'3". She had me stand on my step stool and reach into the current tank.
Yes, I have trouble reaching the bottom.
If it were 6 inches taller, with an acrylic tank with the tops made they way they are, it would have been impossible.
So, the new dimensions are
36" long
30" front to back
24" tall
112 gallons.
Also, the sick fish is now up and eating voraciously! Looking and acting great. On our 4th day of metro and 90 degrees. Just a miracle!
Thank you again Simply Discus Forum! I am so glad we found you.
