96x24 or 72x30?

[DrBegalke]

I made a mistake in my other post.

I have two options for a ~240g tank, either 96l 24w 25h or 72l 30w 25h...

would the extra length or the extra width/depth be better for large fish (tangs/angels)...

thanks!

I would prefer the 30 x 25. More distance between rock and front glass. Large fish might prefer the 96 length.

 

[DrBegalke]

in either setup up, i'll have a areas at the end without much rock so the fish can "turn around."

96L tank would be loved by tangs for sure.

Why not a 96X30X25 since you have the room for it.

 

[DrBegalke]

i haven't found a 96x30x25 for sale, plus it would be significantly more gallons = more equipment expenses.

Go for front to back distance. It makes for better aquascapes.

I have a 240 gallon RR tank (96''x24.6''x21.6'') that all my fish/coral (3 tangs/2 fox faced rabbits/coral beauty/blue spotted nasa/etc) love!! Plenty of room for everyone!
