2ft height(or less) is my preference, cos I'd like to be able to place the corals without having to use tongs. Unless u have very long arms, then 2.5ft height.

Guess it also depends on what u intend to keep, fish only, or corals.

Me prefer 4x2.5x2. i prefer to have width whereby can place more gems at sand bed. 2ft for heights as would be gd too ifchange from MH to T5.

support 2ft for HT and width wise....your choice ....hehehe....

[ReefzLover]

suppot 2.5ft width!!

[ReDDeviLs]

get 2.5ft for both? Lol!

2.5ft width is better if i would have to chose 1 only.

bro told u 2.5 width already lah, u saw my tank the width not shiok? dont need to think already

[[V]tEc]

depends on what u planning to keep. for me, i will prefer 2.5ht. i prefer tank to be high as i like to c my fishes swim up n down.....i have a 6" tang inside my tank n 2.5ht is juz nice for him. if 2" then it will make the tank look shallow...of cos if possible, go for 4*2.5*2.5. can play with depth n height.

Kum sia very much bros! Ok I've decided to take the advice of most bros, 2.5ft width, reason being.....

1. I don't have long arms............

2. My back not very good.........

3. Heard people say tank cannot be taller then you..........hehe dunno true or not but just follow la.........

4. Going to keep corals n fishes, cannot afford MH and the high electricity bill, using only T5.

Thank u once again for ur valuable advice bros!

Glad that you have confirmed.

Just set up my tank which is 2.5 ft ht - great to view but tough putting in all the live rock.

Moreover; u will need MH lighting.

All the best!
