Leaving the nanos

Hey guys im doing a upgrade from 29 gallons 2 either 40 gallon breeder or 55 gallon. Any one have a preference

Between the two, 40 breeder. Can be drilled and more front to back floor space. For a 4' tank, I'd do a 75 or 90... actually have several times each.

Good choice. 40b is a much better tank then a 55.

Stands are hard to come by for 40 breeders. I had to build one. It isn't hard to do and the cost isn't much at all.

Yea I was going to convert my 29 gal stand I built to one

Why is more floor space "better" ?

I think its mostly for aesthetic reasons. The 55 gallon is only 12 inches wide so it doesnt leave much room to create any appearance of depth in the tank.

Finding a well-built, nice looking stand will be difficult to do without spending $300+, at least that was my experience. I also have a 40b and I built the stand. After it was all said and done, I spent less than $150.

I dont like the 55 because its just tall and skinny... as the 40gb is wide and alows my to design more with the substrate. Still waiting on making my stand
