Tank Size/stocking Dilemas.

[christylee]

What tank would be better for a planted aquarium? I have a 20 gallon long, and a 46 gallon bow front. I honestly cannot for the life of me make up my mind on which one to use for this. It also doesn't help that I need a new top frame for the bow front and I've been waiting for two weeks for it to come in and I'm getting impatient
 
I definitely plan on stocking two bolivian rams (intending on them to pair, or at least be friendly) a few nanus cories, black phantom tetras and cardinal tetras.
 
Please give me your opinions!! I hate being so indecisive haha

The bigger one of course!

I'm going nuts waiting for this darn frame to get here lol!!!

 

[TallTree01]

By frame do you mean the hood?

 

[christylee]

Nope. The center brace cracked and then eventually broke so I called and ordered an entire new top frame.

hm that sucks about the breakage but ye i agree larger tank is great for planted just check my sig out for that haha, but you can do some cracking small scale tank scapes think i am going to go more into smaller tanks in the future moss crypts small plants

Id personally go for the deeper (front to back) tank, it allows for more decent scaping positions and depth creation.
