ejaustin Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 My little 29-gallon tank is all stocked at this point and I find I'm spending my time thinking about what I want to be able to do with my next tank (after I move). One of the things I'm thinking is that I would like a wide tank, like 24 or ever 36 inches, front to back. I think the critters would like it and I think I would have more flexibility in aquascaping. I could have an area of sandy substrate with open water near the front and crowd the back with lots of life rock and hidey-hole kind of things. I was just wondering if anyone has a wide tank that I could look at and talk over the pros and cons with. ej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishypets Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Wider is better. You are so right when you talk about aquascaping a deeper tank. You can get a much more "natural" look. You might want to look at setting up a cube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mburton Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I agree, a lot of tanks with the best aquascapes are wider tanks because it allows so much more flexibility. I think the best is a wider tank that is viewable from 3-sides that way you can really see everything in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeK Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Agreed, wider is better for setting up and aquascaping. I have to admit that I'm also partial to high as well. Mine is just about 25" high and it's like living in the ocean versus looking into it through a narrow slit window. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
