Looking at a few tanks. Would appreciate feedback on what would be best for the tank inhabitants.
Comparing Innovative Marine 30 (36 x 11 x 13) and 40 (24 x 20 x 19). Long versus Cube.
I like the look of the cube and the additional aquascaping options a tall tank brings (last tank was a 3' 65 gallon). However I'm concerned that a tax with a max side length of 24 inches makes it really tough to get line of sight breaks and to section off different areas with rockwork to minimize aggression. Long thin tanks appear easier for this.
Inhabitants of the tank not set in stone yet, but likely to include a pair of clownfish (percula or ocellaris). Do you think the tank dimensions (from the above options) would make a difference in minimizing aggression?
I'm also open to suggested tankmates for a clown pair in this size tank. I guess most would go the Goby/Royal Gramma/Blenny/single chromis but I'd love to be able to do firefish/cardinals if aggression allows. I can't see any angel or wrasse being happy in that small a tank but other suggestions welcome. Reef safe is preferable.
