Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I did a bunch of searches on the forum but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for... "height" and "depth" are popular words!
I'm wondering what's better in terms of tank sizes, ie: length, depth, width for different setups:
- freshwater
- freshwater with plants
- salt water with corals with fishes, shrimps and lots of stuff.
Let's say that I'm looking for FW tank, ~50 - 70 gallons. I'd begin with fishes only but would add plants at some points. Am I better to go with a
50 gallons that's 36 x 18 x 18,
a 55 gallons that's 48 x 13 x 20
or a 65 gallons that's 36 x 18 x 24
Is depth important? width? or length?
Now if it was for saltwater, what dimension is key? depth and width? (depth = more $$$ lights though.. right?).
Now what abotu bow front and corner tanks? It's just for show right? Worth it?
Thanks!
