    A standard 5ft tank is 1.5m = 150cm = 1500mm

    5ft = 152.4cm

    425.25 liters

    It depends but usually it's around 450mm (45cm) x 630mm (63cm)

    As far as I am concerned there are standard 1ft,1.5ft, 2ft, 3ft, 4ft tanks.
    Thereafter there does not seem to be any standard tanks and they are all more or less custom build.
    4ft tanks are popular with the planted tank enthusiasts and are usually 45cm wide and 45cm high (higher tanks require more powerful lights if you want to grow a carpet).
    For certain fishes, like Angels and Discus (and others too I am sure) you will require a higher tank.
