Well after moving half way across the country and crying a while after breaking down the 450G, my 28G cube isn't gong to cut it.
We aren't sure how long I'll be here either though so I don't want to set up anything very big. Actually my wife won't let me set up anything huge until I can have another fish room
Anyway, A couple options.
1) an Oceanic or AGA 54 gallon corner tank, I had a 92 corner about 10 years ago and it was one of my favorites but sumps and lighting tend to be big issues. The other disadvantage of this is that I would probably need to build a custom stand and canopy and the sump area is extremely difficult because of the odd shape.
2) a rimless 24x24x24 cube, several vendors, I'm open to suggestions. I would hang one pendant and probably have a stand made to match the cabinets in my house. The downside is this will be the most expensive option since the tanks are big $$ and I would have to have a good looking light pendant.
3) Same as #2 except not rimless and build a canopy to match the stand. While I would save some on the tank and lights the canopy would probably offset that so it's more just a look preference.
4) Just set back up my 28G and quit whining By far the cheapest, no sump, stand looks funny in our house, etc.
What would you do. i certainly don't want to say money is no object but I do want to get what long term will be the best even if it is a few extra bucks.
