I want them to be vertical and square. Thanks

The shipping on those tanks can be significant, though probably not so bad for 20 gallon tanks. Your profile says South Florida, The Tank Depot has a retail location in Pompano Beach if that's not too far from you so you wouldn't have to pay shipping. I was fortunate enough to have a retail location near me when I got 2 65 gallon tanks.

I believe BRS did a investigates on Salt Water Storage that may help you.
