40BR or 55 or a cube?

Devaji108 · 10/18/2011, 10:09 PM

Been dreaming on a pony tank for some time now...anyway with in the next year it should happen.

so my question is what would be the "best" tank for a 2 pair?

40 br with 40 breeder sump/fuge
or
55 w/ 55 sump.fuge

or should I go with a cube?

like the 40 and 55 b/c I was thinking for getting them @ the $1 per gallon sale.

thoughts and feedback would be great.

My rule of thumb is "bigger is better".
You will make many long term hobbyists happier if you call them seahorses and not ponies.

haha ok don't want to offend anybody...also forgot to say that they would be kunda or reidi.

i like the with of the 40br easier to aqua scape and clean but not sure if the height is tall enough?
where the 55 has the length and height but not the with...

I have my H. comes in a 40g breeder and the height is not sufficient for them to transfer the eggs.
Sometimes seahorses can make do anyway but not always.
If you don't intend to breed then it won't be a problem.
