20 Gallon Cube vs 20 Gallon Long

[RaymondL]

I'm going in circles with getting another tank for a small space. I was looking at the waterbox 20 Gallon Cube, which measures 17.7x17.7x15.2 versus an innovative marine 20 Long at 23.6x15x13.

The Waterbox Display: Length 17.2" Width: 14.6" Height 15.7"
The IM Display area is: Length 23.16” Width: 11.38” Height: 13”

Does anyone have any feedback to share about cube vs non cube AIO tanks in terms of aquascape and coral real estate placement.

Thanks

I would go for the long over the cube, definitely more options for spreading your aquascape out

Another vote for long. I have a tideline 21.4 gallon cube, i have little space for aqua scaping the way it has worked out. Wish i would've went with a long....and cheaper.

I think it would depend on where you plan to place it. If its going to be viewed from front and sides, a cube can be really nice. But if viewed mostly from the front, go with the long.

Personally I don't like cubes at all. A 20 long a is a beautiful tank that offers a lot of space.

Thanks all. Ok scrapping the cube.

I set up the IM 20 long as a frag tank. It's a great little tank. I would recommend replacing the filter socks with media baskets

I prefer long tanks as well.
