    Is this sized tank even worth using because of its width? It's not going to have much room, but i don't know if ill be able to buy another :/

    anyone?

    Would this tank be worth using? or should i try to buy a 55+,
    I'm afraid having live rock would be hard to place in this tank, with such little width.

    I personally think it'll be a bit thin if you are going for a reef system. If its a fish only, and you stock appropriately, then it'll make a god aquarium.

    A 45 tall is fine. Sure, taller is not necessarily the best, but you could stack LR in it and have a nice "wall" reef. Personally, if you have the stand for it, try a 40G breeder. More surface area and room to aquascape.

    See if you can find some really good branched live rock. It'll be a lot easier to build up in your system
