I have a 58" wide by 28" deep nook in a hallway in my apartment. I have my current 10 gallon tank there on a nice stand. I'm not buying a larger tank any time soon, I'm just one of those people that like to plan things out and take my time. So, as you can probably guess, it's a toss up between a 36" and a 48" long tank.
A 36 inch tank would give me decent room to view through the sides, but it would eliminate the larger fish and I'd love to have a Tang. But as most of us know, a Tang in a 36" long tank isn't advised by the Tang Police. With a 36", I would consider getting something 24" wide (maybe that size would be permitted by the Tang Police?) Say 36Lx24Wx18H. I think would be a neat tank size. Of course that could be 42"L if it were custom.
A 48 inch tank might be tight in there. At most ~5 inches on either side. It might be a little tough to work the mag float etc in there. And there would be even less room around the stand. I couldn't go 24" wide, the tank would be too large for my apartment, so it would probably be a 75 gallon.
What do you guys suggest?
