dude! This is 72x30x27? Tagging along man! Frkn nice *** tank!
Thanks sir. But it's actually 96"lX30"dX24"h.
But I like your idea of 36"d, especially on a peninsula here's why.
So when people setup a standard tank they usually stack the rocks up against the back. This gives the fish so much room in the front and gives the person room to work on corals and stuff.
Now take a peninsula, there is no back just two fronts and a middle of the tank. So when stacking rocks I don't like them to close to the glass so the corals have room to grow. I like to keep the rocks like 4-6" away from the glass. So this now gives me 22-18" of real estate were I can stack rocks. I don't like to build a straight up wall of rocks, to me it looks unnatural. So I like to try to form a pyramid in the middle of the tank. This helps so u get more places where light hits, for more coral placement.
So with a wider tank there would be more real estate to stack rocks to get a nicer effect
