Hmm... I'd like something a little bigger than that... that works out to about 27g , correct? I was thinking of somewhere alogn the lines of 50g or so.

I should have specified that in the first post. Sorry about that.

It's hard for me to come up with tank dimensions .. I am no good at visualizing how it would look.

Thanks for your suggestion

20G would be 24x12½x17


Id go with 24x24x20 or maybe even 28x28x20 if you could afford the tank sticking out from the wall a bit more.
