Well you probably came to the wrong place to talk you out of it... Really thought that sounds too small for your basement.I have a 1300 sq foot finished basement I'm planning on putting a tank in. There's a steal on a 210 that is 6'x2'x2.5' and I still can't pull the trigger
Tough call. For me, I prefer the 6x3x2 over the 8x2x2. I feel the extra width gives opportunity for more depth in the aquascape. However...and this is BIG HOWEVER...I do think it depends on whether you're planning a peninsula or a standard side view tank. If I were going standard side view, I think my answer would change to the 8x2x2 for ease of maintenance. I wouldn't want to try to figure out how to access that extra foot of width from only 1 side.
Theyre both great sizes. Which one id chose depends on viewing angles and what you plan to keep.
I need to go larger.....Well you probably came to the wrong place to talk you out of it... Really thought that sounds too small for your basement.
I would do the 6x3 then. Youll be able to show off alot more coral and have an intricate scape with lots of rock for the smaller fish to hide in. Still plenty of space for some tangs too. If you wanted to keep a large group of tangs id say the 8ft. But i definitely prefer peninsula style vs against the wall.
I like extra width if you can fit it. More room for islands. I feel like there's more usable space in wide tanks rather than long tanks.I am in the process of ordering a new tank. I have narrowed the space down to either a 8x2x2 tank or a 6x3x2 tank.
What would most prefer? The extra length or the extra width?
