Which tank?

[Fishfish0001]

Hi all.

I was wondering which tank you though would be better:

40G Long: http://www.cadlights.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=41&products_id=175

or 50G Cube: http://www.cadlights.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=41&products_id=158

Ignore the prices and stuff it comes with, as I would be changing that.

I can't decide which would work better.

I like both shapes for different reasons, but thats a lot of money for a 40breeder that runs $100

EDIT: Never mind, I just saw what that price includes.

If it is going to be viewable from 3 sides I would do the 50g cube.

I personally would go with the cube..

Love the cube shape (have a cube tank now) the only problems I find is its a little harder to do you rock work. Also it has a shorter length side to side. But on the hand the 50 gallon has more water volume. In the end its just a personal choice both are great tanks. IMO

Even though cubes look awesome, I tend to like the longer front viewing pane of the standard tanks.

I like both.
Cubes are always cool when you stack the rock in the middle and you can place corals all around, I used to run a 20gal long and it was nice but not much height or depth, It's going to make a nice frag tank though

I think ill stick with the cube then. More water volume (approx 68~ Gallons). Might have a small stand though with the sump in it, but ill just get something for next to it if need be.

I though the 40 Long looked nice, but the cube looks a little cooler, and has more depth on it.

I have a 60 cube, and it's great. It's easy to find lighting and equipment, and I've been lucky that aquascaping was easier than I thought. I would recommend a cube.
