Right now I have a 4'x4' reef tank. I plan to move soon, and upgrade either right before or right after the move. My current tank is acrylic, and I hate it. Glass is so much easier to clean. So that's my biggest reason to upgrade, but bigger is always better.
My dream was to do a 2' wide, about 30 inch high tank as long as possible, built into a wall and viewable from both sides.
Now a used 300dd is available at a good price, and I am rethinking if I really want a long, thin tank. I am more into coral than large fish and am worried a long thin reef tank will look like some planted trees in a row.
For those with experience with large reefs, which way should I go? Is 2' enough room to aquascape, no matter how long the tank? Or am I going to regret not having width later?

). That's not to say there aren't issues with wide tanks either, flow can be a bit tricky, as can surface skimming.
