Length or Height more important for tank?

[Renegade]

personally i have really like deep tank (from front to back) i like what your capable of doing with the aqua scape. You don't have to build a wall you can have real depth to it, its cool

What do you think you want to keep for livestock? If you want say tangs, I would recommend length, but if you are going for seahorses per say, I would say height.

As for depth, I have an 18" deep tank now, and occasionally do find it challenging to find rock that will fit, yet won't be too close to the glass, or in my case, clams.

If you could do it, I would say go deeper!

I agree. Height should be the last choice. Length, Depth, Height. In that order.
