My current tank is 38" tall, so no worries about tongs!! Ha ha ha...
I agree about the 30" wide too, just might have to stick out more into the play room, because I don't have a ton of room by the shower there.
I've kept SPS corals before, and I think that will be the plan for this one too. I may recycle some of my current equipment; BRS dosing pumps, DIY ATO using ultrasonic level ttransmitter etc...

You will definitely have to learn to be good at using tongs.  I do have to say though, that a 30" tall viewing pane is soooo much more pleasing than a 24" tall viewing pane. Imo, if you're going 30" tall, I'd also go 30" wide. For saltwater tanks, it is so much easier to aquascape the rocks when the height and width are either the same or the width is greater than the height.
So...what do you have planned for equipment? What type of corals? |
