shallow tank

[Zoacoral]

So, I am wanting to get a shallow tank. Perferably no more then 100 gallons. I have a chance to get a 72 x 24 x 12" tall 90 gallon.. Anyone think this is too short? I would have different corals, like, clams, Anenome, zoas, LPS corals mainly. Fish wise, My girlfriend wants to get a tang, then I currently already have a pair of clownfish, blenny, goby, firefish, and a wrasse.

That's an awesome tank, but you have to worry about fish jumping... If you decide to go with it you will be limited to the type of fish you choose

i love my foot tall tank bu i haven't had any jumpers yet and i dont have a top on it but i may just be lucky

I've had a blenny and a wrasse dive on me so far...

any pictures of your tank tahts 12" tall?

the only thing i suggest is go barebottom or course substrate.. the powerheads seem to pick up fine sand and shoot it around the tank..this is on a 80gal deep blue frag tank

Oh yea deffinetly a sand storm and you have to have multiple small power heads expecially if your tank is longer then 4' I have 3 aqueon 750 I tried a korilia 1050 and thqt was a big nono

I'd think the clowns and tang would do fine as far as jumping. I'd steer clear of wrasses and some gobies and blennies that tend to jump.

I would put a screen top on it.. I don't think I am going to get that tank, I don't wanna go bare bottom and I dont want to have a sand storm. So I'm going to get quotes on a custom 90 gallon, 48 x 24 x 18" tall.
