Default is 30" too deep?
ive been pondering about building a new tank as of lat and cant quite decide on dimensions. i want the deep look of a cube as well as the towering cliff look of a tall tank, so i wanted something like 30x30x30. is 30" simply too deep to work with?

My tank is 30" deep. I really like the look, but definitely a bitch to work in. Next tank will be a little shallower.

Not really, but I did use a 3 step ladder when I set it up. I have never really done anything in it YET.

I ran a 30x30x30 cube for 6 or 7 years. It is a neat size.

Reaching the bottom was a challenge but you find ways. A stepladder and reachy grabby tools worked fine for me.
