I moved and need a smaller tank, suggestions?

[thomas hudson]

I was running a Aqueon 75 gallon 48x18x21.. I think i could get away with a 36 inch long tank or a cube .. something to that extent. Any suggestions on what direction i should go? At one point i was actually thinking i wanted a 120 but now after moving that is not possible. I also have xr 30 radion pros etc. i should probably sale and downsize some.. oh and the mp40qd's.. i guess depends on which way i go. Thanks for any input.

I used to run a 75g DT with a large sump and remote fuge, I downsized to a 60g 2' cube and I love it. I'm sure you could light it with one of those XR30s, and 1 MP40 has been working out well for me.

Imo it's a great size because it's not that small volume wise, but it's easy to manage when compared to a 4' tank. 5g bucket water changes are about 10% when taking rock displacement into account which is also nice.

Which Cube did you end up getting?

Deep Blue, I bought it used and redid the silicone for nice clean lines. Previous owner got carried away with the scrapper and nicked the silicone in several spots.

I had a 36" SCA 90 gallon 36x24x24 i called it may little big tank. was a pretty cool tank.

if you like cubes its a nice way to go. I personally like longer tank than cubes.
look into the Im 25Lagoon or 20L peninsula that would be my vote for a smaller tank.

for med sized tanks consider:
the deepblue 57 are nice too. of course there is the classic 40br...you have lots of options. think about what you want to do with your tank and go from there.
