That it a beautifully designed tank, very nice surgeonfish. I was thinking about going with a 48" deep reef tank about I did know anyone with that depth of tank, or how to deal with it. I think I'm going to go with a 30" deep tank with a good front to back. Thank you.

I think 30" would be much easier to work with. I have had to watch corals die or have killed them trying to free them using those clumsy tongs. It would be so much easier if I could just grasp the corner of the coral with my fingers. However, some large tanks might look much better deeper than 30" to keep them symmetrically pleasing. However, I would resist going reef because of the difficulty with aquascaping and caring for the corals.
