What Tank Shape Do You Prefer?

[Matty P]

Just wondering what shape of tank people liked.

I like long tanks. Not deep ones. But that is just me....or that I don't have enough money for lighting that can penitrate all that way to the bottom on a deep tank

 

[SkiFletch]

Shallow tanks that are wide front to back. The larger footprint both distributes the weight of the tank more evenly, and allows for much greater aquascaping options . I love looking at bowfront tanks, but I'd hate to be the poor guy who has to clean the front glass

 

[sianeds]

Gotta be a long tank for me. Much easier to aquascape.

 

[jeffery]

long low and wide

6x2x2ft! rectangle for easy cleaning.

 

[sianeds]

ooh like my new one then

 

[Matty P]

Yeh rectangle is good for me! I agree, I would hate to have to clean a bowfront!

I like tall tanks but once they get to a certain point there hard to work in

 

[Matty P]

Yeh, they are harder to clean, especially the bottom of the glass unless you have a magnetic scraper .
