			 Don't worrie about me stealing your tangs yet!!! Still gotta build my tank first.lol 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	I was at the Lfs yesterday and now my list might have to change cause they had a small powder brown that was absolutely stunning and eating good I couldn't pass it up I had to get him. So now I have to get going on building my tank. What depth you guys think I should do would 20inch be deep enough for tangs? Or should I go deeper? I like being able to reach the bottom.  |

			 Thank for the live aquaria info I've been looking there too just looking for people's experiences and other stocking ideas too. The more knowledge the better right.

			 Definately go with a depth you are comfortable with or you'll be kicking yourself later 
		
	
		
		
		
		
			
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	With 3' width you're going to be on a step ladder anyway (to reach the back) so going a bit on the tall side may not matter I'd be thinking about light penetration, coral placement and LR structures' sizes if I ever planned a tank this size Maybe someone like Bblinks or The Grizz could give you some insight into dealing with a tank with those dimensions  |

			 It will be a pain getting to the back of the tank but cost to go higher is substantial. Plus I'm more concerned about swimming space for tangs there the reason for this build. I don't know if ill do corals as there are a few angels that I like too so probly be fowlr if there are any they will be softys or ill keep my 90 for the reef tank instead of changing it to a refugium.

			 My tank  is 20 inches high and 33 inches off the ground (cabinet). I can reach the bottom without easily. Perfect! 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		
		
	
	
	It is 7 feet long so can accommodate most tangs.  |

			I planned for a a tang tank so that is the reason for the seven feet. (two T-5 3' units) I also keep coral and can reach down to the bottom easily to clean the bottom front of the glass. Wayne Last edited by naesco; 07-21-2013 at 03:48 AM.  |
