Square Tanks?

[Littlefishy]

Just wondering what people thought of square tanks? Please share your opinions! Thanks

you mean a cube tank?

i think they're the bee's knees

No issues? 30" wide and 30" deep. 24" tall. 93 gallons. Does a cube tank have restrictions as far as livestock, given that it is not as long as a rectangular tank of the same volume?

no why would there be issues?

i just wouldnt put tangs in a tank that isnt 6 feet wide or longer. but it might still work

Good to know. Anyone else?

Love my cube, I have to agree with Marko in a sense about the tangs, while I'm sure a smaller tang species would be ok, they do swim miles and miles a day, so the longer tanks are better suited in that aspect. But I think cubes are so nice cause of the depth you can create with them

I think they look so elegant and sexy with that deep back ground.

I really want one and have been wanting to upgrade for a while... Other option is a 60g cube (only because of affordability and my landlord would probably freak if he saw a near 100g on the hardwood!)... What do you think? Bite the bullet and go 93g?

As long as you don't mind cleaning all that glass, go as big as your budget can afford. Bigger allows for much nicer scaping and more critters. Just keep in mind how long your arm is !

If 60G that means the tank is only 24"x24"x24", I think you will have to limit what kind of fish you have in there in the future. If I have a room for a cube tank, I won't go smaller than 36" in length. So, bite the bullet and go with 93G !
