Hi all
I realised this morning that I must have a leak in my tank. Not very important, but I may end up with a flooded floor and I am sure I don´t want that (and neither does my wife for sure). So I am thinking on buying a new tank (she, my wife, has seen the small puddle on the aquarium table and she agrees on that...) . Acording to the space I have, the maximum I can get is a 80 cm long. My "silly" question is: what is best for viewing, managing and proportionality, a 30 cm high or 40 cm. 30 cm high seems a little too small, but I have now 45 cm and it is too high... so I am not so sure about a 40 cm high as it also seems too high.
I am thinking in a non-standard 80x40x30. 30 would be the height. Is it not too shallow for fish to swim later on, or is it enough?. Wouldn´t it be better a 80x40x40...?. I want more visual depth so I am almost sure that I want 40 cm deep, but height is what concerns me. 40 or 30 cm...
What do you experienced guys recommend?
Cheers
Pedro
