Tank Build Size, Just Lookin For Opinions

[fishmanty]

Have you considered 5'x2'x2'? I had a 150gal of those dimensions a couple years back and I'm getting another one shortly here. Depth and width are perfect I found!

[ensquire]

Go for the depth. 24W minimum for a tank. makes aquascaping easier and look much better.

Oh haha I thought I posted in the marine fish section.
I plan on making it a FOWLR with mostly large angelfish which is why I thought a 8' would be nice for more length of swimming room and minimal rock in the DT

[Mike-fish]

go 8x3x24. go big or go home

My 165 is 96"L x 22"W x18"D. Ilike the shallow depth to work in & the length is good for Tang ( I have 1 or 2 of them in my tank )

I'd be looking at how hard it would be to beef up the floor

For a fowler i would go 8' give the big fish room to swim.

If the basement isn't finished a beam and some teleposts...then go BIG!
