A couple more tank questions

[dbk111]

From a previous post people have me looking at the 40B as my tank. Aqueon also has a 65G that has basically length and width (40B-36.2" x 18.3" vs 65-36.4" x 18.4") so they get the additional volume in height (17" vs. 25").

Questions;

Is the additional water volume in height worth it in being able to use the space for fish and critters?

Aqueon also has the "œReef Ready" 65G that is pre-drilled at the bottom. Does anyone have experience with these?

Again, Thanks for the help!

Sorry to do this but wanted a couple opinions before I make the purchase in the next day or two.

Thanks Again,

Always go bigger - more water volume is never a bad thing.

And - there are all types of fish that use all levels of the tank. You can find plenty of fun fish that will love the upper areas of the tank with wide, open swimming.

More water is always good. And reef ready will save you a bunch of hassle with drilling etc.

All things being equal I always vote bigger and more convenient.

It really depends on the bio load you already have planned. What can your filtration process and so on.
Why don't you start off with what you are planning and see how other additions look in the tank over time?
You may want to QT any new additions anyway
