Very helpful thank, but one thing that this newbie can’t figure out …

I know what 60L means, and I know what 60G means, but what is a 60P tank?

A 60P is a 60cm aquarium. There was once a standard size but now can come in depths ranging from 30cm to 45cm, but the length will always be 60cm.

The classic ADA 60P is 60 x 30 x 36 cm

Not actually sure what the 'P' stands for!

Not actually sure what the 'P' stands for!

According to the tinternet.

Following the number is a letter. ‘C’ stands for cube, where all three dimensions are the same (width, depth, height). ‘P’ stands for “Pool”, ‘F’ stands for “Flood”, and ‘H’ stands for “High”.

Thank you both!

Having tracked down the website that @John q referenced I now know that my tank (a superfish scaper 90) is a 60P but a bit higher and a bit deeper than an ADA one.
