Hi all, I am looking at adding a new tank and have been loving the shallow(er) tanks lately. But one thing I cannot seem to find is if the shallow tanks have issues that your standard size tanks don't have. I recently found a 100 gallon build that was 6 feet long and loved it because I hate reaching into a 2 foot deep aquarium and going up to my shoulder in water , but I love the large water volume. What are some pros and cons that you have seen/experienced with shallow tanks. I am also wondering how the flow would differ in a longer and shallower setup.
For those that may ask, shallow(er) is completely relative and can be anything you consider shallow that is deeper than 13".
Thanks,
