36" L Tank

Hey,

The area that i want to put a new tank in will take a 36" long tank, i have the option of going:

36x20x22
36x20x24
etc... give or take an inch or two..

any benifits to a deeper tank?
wider?

anyone have a tank this size with pictures?
suggestions?

I was thinking of going with t5's 4 or 6 bulbs.

Thanks!!

I have a 46 gallon tank that's 36X20X22 if i'm not mistaken...and for me it's just the right size. It' not too deep that i can't reach the bottom, but it's not too shallow so that i can't have a good aquascaping...here are some pics!

A 50g breeder would be perfect for you, and considered by many to be one of the best sized tanks.

36 x 18 x 18 are the demensions I think

I personally like wider tanks because I can use T5 bulbs and there's more area for corals.
