First Reef

[intarsiabox]

I am in the process of setting up a new tank in my dining room and have similar dimension problems. I found a 30x20x20 with 2 overflows in the rear on this site that will suit my space requirements. I don't know if yours is going beside a kitchen counter (24" deep) but if it is you might not want your overflow in the middle of the tank. If you don't have access to all 4 sides then most of the back half of your tank will be more or less wasted space as you can't see it. I'm running a 20g reef tank right now and there is plenty of action and you can put tons of frags in there, but as they grow you'll probably have to start making frags yourself. And trust me, you can sink a lot of cash into even a small 20g tank!
