I've been thinking about buying a standard 125 gallon tank 72"x18"x21"

A word of advice from experience.... make sure the tank is no taller than your arm... it is a MAJOR pain to clean the glass or pick up frags that have been knocked to the sand if you need a ladder and snorkel....

Average Maybe
It took me a white hearing my voice over speakers to get used to it. I'm not convinced I don't change it a little for the occasion. It is what it is. we all sound strange to ourselves. good video though.

That's what I just finished setting up.

For example, a 110 extra high is REALLY hard to replant cuttings that your fish knock free or corals that get tipped over or knocked off a perch. Al's, taller tanks are harder to make look "not empty" with rock because you have to REALLY stack it up without filling the bottom completely and without making it too top heavy so it tips....

I don't sound weird on recordings.

My 135, I need a stepladder to reach the sand for cleaning... I had to scrub the bottom 2 inches of glass today to ret rid of the algae layer that the magnet scraper wouldn't get. Managed to frag my Pocillipora in the process.. lol

Definitely! Do you think the 18 inches in width is a problem?

It all depends on access. Like he said, if you can't reach it can be a problem. My 125 isn't a problem because I can reach anywhere in the tank but I have long arms, tongs, and scrapers on poles...

the depth of 21 inches is totally fine with me. I could reach anywhere if I needed. I just mean 18 inches front to back, would that be too short? hard to scape at all?

I have always heard you want as deep as tall. Or deeper. Imagine a standard 55g but bigger.

I made some rocks so I'm not fully scaped yet but it really all depends on what type of scape you want. 18" deep is better than 12" for sure. Deeper tanks give you more room to go up because you have more room to come forward with scape. You can see how "empty" it looks. That's 100 lbs of rock and 100 lbs of sand so far.

I was told kinda Tim McGraw but the guy thought I had a mullet so I'm not sure if he was talking about my hair or voice...
