where to get 135 cube

[fatpuffer]

I think he was saying that it would be tough to light it up if you were going to put corals. If it is a fowlr light is not so much an issue.

BTW check you pm.

pm sent =p

[asherah]

would you suggest a lon g tank instead ?

[fatpuffer]

SOmething to do with light penetration and the depth of the tank. It will be at least 30 inch deep. It is tougher to light up the deeper tanks.

A 135 gal cube would be 32x32x32

That's not a standard size so would need to be custom built. The depth would make it harder to light. The 32" length would require custom stands, hoods, etc and limit your lighting choice (e,g, couldn't use standard 36", 48", 72" fixtures.

Unless this is going to be in the middle of a room the 32 inch front to back wouldn't "show" as nicely as a more traditional shape. For example these three tanks would also be 135 gallons:

48 X 24 X 28
60 X 22 X 25
72 X 18 X 25

I think a 4, 5 or 6 foot long tank with angels would look more attractive than a 32 inch long tank and would probably cost less.

actually i was going to ake it 36 x 36 x 24 but maybe i will just get a long tank instead

I would suggest a long tank for angels. Cubes are nice but I think you would have an easier time with a long tank, both in ease of maintainance and overall fish success..happy holidays
