6 vs 8 foot, is it worth it?
 

Hello,

I am just looking to get some opinions of 6 vs 8 foot tanks both would be 24+ deep and 12-18 tall. I have multiple frag tanks and I am looking to consolidate some of them. Just looking for opinions on the fish in the tanks, will fish be a lot happier/enjoy the space with the extra two foot? It wouldn't be too heavily stocked, just fish to do work. I will be considering a red sea sail fin tang, regal tang, fox face, doliatus rabbitfish, a couple wrasses and maybe a copper band.

Basically just wondering if you think its worth the hassle. Two fixtures vs one, skimmer size, water changes and salt....and so on. Right now I have a great deal on a 8 foot tank and I am pretty set on that, any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated.

Thanks!!!!

8 foot for sure!!

my plan one day is to put an 8 footer where my main is now..


go for it

+1.i have a 6 one and i regret not going with a 8...but my next one will be 3 high 4 wide and at least 10 long...hopefully will get to do it next summer.all my fishes are super happy lots of space to swim

Fish like tangs will love the extra length, I went 10 :)

O yeah.my powder brown and nasso they sure love to swimm from side to side

I dont think you will ever regret going longer. I have a 3' and im currently debating doing a custom 6'er :)

Go big or go home Tony.....8 got my vote.

Thanks for the feedback, I was already pretty set on it. I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything that I wasn't thinking about that would get in the way.
