Tank Size


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

I'm planning to upgrade my current tank.

i have a several tank size in mind:

L x W x H (all in feet)

2 x 2 x 1.5 OR

2 x 1.5 x 1.5 OR

2.5 x 1.5 x 1.5

which one look nicer in real ?

+ it'd have a wooden cabinet with a 2 x 1 x 1 sump tank underneath it.

due to budget n monthly maintaining cost, the light fittings the most i can afford is 2 x 55W PL or lower than that. that's why the light also limit my tank size.

I'm planning to hv some LPS / shrooms / buttons in my tank.

please advise.. thanks :D

The tank size and shape really depends on how you want it to look in ur living room... Also depends on how you wants to do the landscaping.

As lights I would go for T5, as PLs availability may be quite difficult, not many LFS carries.....

30G Corner Tank with 10G Sump, 2 x 24W artinic T5, 1 x 24W 10K, 1x 24W 20K, 3" Grade 0 sand & Live rocks, Activated Carbon, Bio-home, 2 x Seio M620, Hailea 1/2HP Chiller, Redsea Pro Skimmer

Live Stock:

Turbo Snail x 1, Green Mandarin Dragonet X 2, Blue Tang X 2, True percular x 2, 1 x Algae Bleenie, Clarke clown x 2

I like 2 x 2 x 1.5, the width will provide better depth when you look from the front of the tank.

:off: MC, if you like gays, you may want to join me at Delta swimming pool on week day lunch time. Help me distract them so that I can concentrate on swimming. :P
