Hexagon Tanks vs Cube Tanks

[td3025]

So I really want to upgrade my 30 gallon into something bigger. Right now I'm looking at two options: a 95 gallon hex or a custom built 86 gallon cube.

I have a limited amount of space for this tank, which is why when going bigger these are my two best candidates dimension wise (I don't want anything under 75 gallons, and with only 36 inches width, 30 inches height, and 30 inches from back to front of room these are the best shapes for me)

I have a fuzzy dwarf lion, a blenny, and 2 clowns that would be transferred into this tank.
For fish such as anthias, some types of butterflyfish, dwarf angels, and what I already own; Would either of these tank shapes benefit them more?

The hexagon dimensions:
Length (front to back): 25 inches
Width: 25 inches
Height: 36 inches

The cube dimensions:
Length (front to back): 30 inches
Width: 30 inches
Height: 24 inches

Sorry this is kind of a broad question, I've never had a hex tank so I'm not sure how much fish enjoy the 3 feet of height and only 2 feet of width.

Out of my gut I would tend to the cube.
That 5 inch more in width and length is not a whole lot, but for fish like dwarf angels I would want to offer as much of space to swim around. So in my thinking more length and width are more beneficial than additional height.

My option would be the cube.

I agree with matze! The actual shape won't benefit the fish that just for own preference. It's the water volume they will appreciate

I hated my hex. It was too deep to reach and then it sprang a flood on me.

Thanks guys, I think I'm going with the cube as well. The hex seems hard to clean and work with anyways :p

I agree with the others. Cube all the way.
