Square Tanks
I just was reading about a member's 70g square tank on Manhattan local reefers club and I think I fell in love kinda. I don't have space currently but it is fun to dream. What are the downfalls of having this kind of setup. From what I see it provides a ton of swimming room, fun aquascaping options, low height which is great for clams, easy viewing from all 4 sides and the top. I would most likely get a larger size that would hold larger angels and tangs and all the good big stuff.
Major downfall I see is the room to jump (this guy had a niger trigger jump out) and lighting can also be an issue.

Re: Square Tanks
If i were to build a tank it would be a square one with an overflow in the center surrounded by live rock *druel* but i may be building a frag tank over the next 3 months if i can find a place to put it in the home.
