Im having a hell of a time deciding which tank size i wanna go with. im up in the air between a 20gl long, 29 gl RR, or a 30 cube. I want something small because of apartment guidelines and regulations. what would you pick?

I'm with InLimbo87 on the cube. Oceanic makes some great stuff.

I'd go with the 29 gal reef ready and get a sump to hide all your equipment. Especially when you're a beginner, you should should get the system with the most possible volume.

i was gonna usa a sump anyway... the 29 is just already drilled, i was gonna drill the 20, but 30 cube would be free and I already have an overflow box, i was gonna use an old sump that I have built out of a 16 gl tank, but it wont fit in the oceanic stand, but it will fit in a 20l or 29 stand.
crud....

I was not happy with my 20g long. To limited on space and flow optios IMO.

I have a custom 36g now which is the same as a 29g just more room front to back and really enjoy it more.

30g cubes are nice and if it's free and in good shape you could always drill it.
