Tanks less than 18 inches wide

[seascotty]

I am redoing my kitchen and will be able to have a fish tank 18 inches or less in width. Any thoughts on what is the biggest/best cube type tank? Idealy I would like to have LED lighting. My goal would be to keep anemones and 3-4 fish. Thank you.

the Solana 25g is an 18'' cube I believe

I have a Marineland 25 gallon cube that is 18x18x18 and it built very well. It does have a large plastic rim though, much larger than any other thanks this size so it might stick out too much for your space requirements? But this tank is built....well like a tank. Meaning it's a very solid strong tank. I highly recommend it if you dont want a rimless on.

Thank you for the replies. The tanks mentioned looked like tanks and not complete systems. What do you all recommend for a complete, all in one system, with LED lights that is less than 18 inches wide?

Nice tank. How do you find the filtration and lighting on the eheim? Would it support an anemone?

I think so. i had my mini RBTA in there for a while. I actually lost him when i upgraded my lighting, causing him to feel the need to move to a new home. This new home, sadly, happened to be an impeller. I would recommend spending the 15 bucks or so on the little Rio50 pump thats in the picture or something similar. I swapped it all out for an MP10, but it was as much for aesthetics as function.

The only real complaint i had for the tank stock was the spectrum of the factory LED. It puts out pretty intense light, with good shimmer, and kept that crocea clam healthy,but its 6.5-7k spectrum.

Overall not a bad deal for the money.
