New large 400+gal tank
So, I'm about to install a 10'Lx30"x30" aquarium viewable from both sides with 15"W overflows at both ends. I plan on soft corals w/a lot of fish and an anemone. I prefer a deep sand bed and have quite a bit of room below for sump(or 2 sumps yoked together), skimmer , refugium, etc. w/max height of 26" or so.
Let's say my budget is generous, but I don't care for wasting money. What does everyone recommend? All input is appreciated. |

26" is not very much. My stand is 32" and I barely can work under it

At 30” deep you can’t reach the bottom anyway - raising it on the stand makes sense to me. I’d try to get the top rim just below eye level so looking in you’re not looking up into lights but high enough that you’re not stooping to look at bottom corals and fish swimming are at eye level.

My same tank with a similar footprint will have a 42" stand. At 26" you will hurt your neck looking down at everything. In my opinion, you should consider a stand of at least 32-36" and get a step stool

I recommend doing it.
What are you looking for recommendations on? MY stand is 40" tall. Puts the 27" tall tank at eye level. |
