About to order a new set-up show tank for the living room. What are your opinions on the following:
For the tank I am torn between these two tanks:
6' x 2' x 2' standard 180
5' x 2.5' x 25" custom 185
I really like the idea of the 2.5' front to back width as it will really increase the options for aquascaping. I'm just worried I'll miss the extra foot on the 6" tank. What's your opinion?
Filtration:
I am currently looking at the lifereef 200/240 wetdry: http://www.lifereef.com/frame.html Click: lifereef products > wet/dry trickle filters for images and specs. Can anyone else chime in on any other filtration methods/products that will do a good job on a tank this size? Should I be looking at canisters vs. the wet/dry?
For the stand I am having a custom 42" stand and 12" hood built. Either tank will be beautiful in this thing!
Thanks!
Jason
