the 4 footer is the better tank and no mater which tank you chose you can only keep one or two tangs depending on the type. the wider tank will actually be better for tangs as they can turn better while maintaining speed. a narrower tank they have to slow down and turn sharper. also a wider tank is alsoway better for setting up mass water flow, with out ending up with a jet type water blast.

I'd go with with 6 footer. Big tanks are pretty. Very pretty

Hm... mixed results... I think I'll set up the long tank as 1) I need to build a stand, and I think a rectangular one would be easier, 2) I like the option to keep an angel or tang (thanks fishytime and naesco), 3) since it will be a slow build, money won't be an issue (I hope...)

banditpowdercoat, I'll start a journal soon... It will be a slow process but it will happen.

stircrazy, jet blast noted... will worry about this when time comes but that's another thing I hadn't thought of..

Thanks for the welcome Doug, and it's ok Rbacchiega, now you've got one too, 184 posts later, lol!
