are you wanting to put it inside or outside? Because I have a couple 300 gallon stock tanks for my cattle and horses, and they are huge.

well, this topic is in the habitat indoor section, so i'm gonna assume this guy has the biggest house i've ever seen - and, therefore, i hate him a just a little.

A 300 gallon stock tank is huge, even for a garage. The weight alone is 2400lbs. And my 300 gallon stock tanks are at least 6 foot around (they are big circles). And a 110 would be way to small for 3 adult RES.

right, so a 300 would be more suitable.and my garage has alot of wasted space being that we just took out a wall and extended it. so i think 300 would fit and its easy access to outside making it more ideal

Well at TSC (tractor supply company) a 300 gallon stock tank is about $210. http://www.tractorsupply.com/livestock/livestock-equipment/stock-tanks/stock-tank-300-gal-2229935
You could always go big and get this one that holds over 600 gallons for $315.
