shallow and tall tanks


Recommended Posts

Mainly for better light penetration and for ease of maintenance. You don't lose a lot of PAR with a shallow tank.

Don't think theres an exact figure for the word "shallow". All depends on your tank dimensions still.

Shallow tanks can be used for any purpose. But if u intend on keeping any fish with tendency to jump, best to get a cover done.

 

I Love Stagsss

Convenience and ease of maintenance but the trade off is not so majestic as those 2ft and 2.5ft ones IMHO :)

shallow tank most likely will not use deep sand bed. and usually shallow tank goes without hood.

fishes like wrasse cannot be kept.

tall tank like 2.5ft above? maintainance can be a pain.

I once saw my neighbor transporting a shallow tank and when I asked, he say that's he's keeping octopus. Not sure but I do appreciate shallow tank. They reminds me of snorkeling experience while deep tank more like diving. ^^
