Clearseal do a 24"x15"x12"H i.e. 60x38x30 (70L). That would give you that sort of footprint (60x38cm) without as much extra volume as going 40cm tall.
Aquael do a Leddy set 60x30x40H (72L) - which is extra height but not depth.
It depends on the style tank you want too - are you looking for something that holds water or something rimless and beautifully siliconed?
I'm looking for a decent rimless, preferably low iron glass tank. Clearseal uses float glass I think. Can't find too much information on their website.
I visited Aquarium Gardens to pick up a couple of plants yesterday. I checked out the ADA 60P. It is a beauty indeed!
I asked them how do they keep all of their tanks so pristine and they said: weekly 80-90% WC on top of the other things, heavily planted, CO2, etc.
I tend to overcomplicate things I guess. A couple of weeks ago I bought an Oase Scaperline 60 (~63l actual water volume) to set up a reef. It's still in the box, as I'm modifying the cabinet and trying to figure out the plumbing.
Mind you, a reef tank needs only 10-20% WC per week. That is manageable. Some reefers don't do WC at all. Anyway, I thought I could use it to upgrade the nano cube, and buy a second one for the reef later on.
I'm not going to do 80-90% WC per week. Sounds like a chore. I reckon a 50% (~30l) weekly WC would be sufficient. But even that sounds like too much work when all I'm using is a 25l bucket.
So, I have these options:
1.
ADA 60P (L60xW30xH36cm) ~55l actual water volume
2.
Superfish Scaper 60 (L50xW35xH35cm) ~55l actual water volume
3.
Aquael Opti (L60xW30xH30cm) ~48l actual water volume
4. Use the Oase Scaperline 60 and find a more efficient way to do WC.
To be honest, I'm leaning towards the Superfish Scaper 60, mostly because it's a manageable size and the light looks good. Or I could buy only the tank and add a
Chihiros WRGB 2 (?).
Bear in mind that I'd like to keep one German Blue Ram, a school of Otos and a school of Galaxy or Chili Rasbora.
Cheers!
