Aquarium Advice Addict
I will have either a 90 or a 110 high. Both will have a 48" width. What is the lighting suggestion for a FOWLR tank? It may eventually be turned into a reef, but not for a while.
thanks!
thanks!
When faced with the choice of getting a longer vs. taller aquarium, the longer is a better option for SW. They will give you more surface area for gas exchange (better O2 and more stable Ph) and they will provide more usable swimming space for most of your fish. Most fish prefer horizontal swimming space, not vertical. Shallower tanks are easier to light effectively as well, better for corals.ok, so even if I never turn it into a reef, it would be more efficient for my just to get the 90 gallon with less depth?
