Can't say best, but I just started my Frag tank and its 24x24x8. The dimensions work for me, but may not work best for you (most people may prefer more depth) Its rated at 20 gallons, but an 1.5 inches is lost due to the overflow. My entire system including the sump is 25 gallons

I was actually looking into doing a small one so that would be a nice size. Thanks

My Tank Thread
Dimension needs to take considerations like:
- coverage of lighting u will be using. Iversizing or light will lead to shadow are and undersizing will be a waste. Keep in mind that tan is shallow so or light will diverge less and coverage might be less than what's marketed.
-flow tank has to be deep enough so u can run ur flow above the drags a bit to avoid blowing them.
-and of course space to house the number of drags u have in mind
I'd suggest 24x24x12 - 36x24x12 - 60x24x12
