I am planning a new planted tank and because of space constrictions the largest tank I can accommodate would either be a 29 gallon or 20 gallon long. I would also prefer to go "low tech" with no added CO2.
In favor of the 29 gallon I believe more water volume would offer me greater stability and I might be able to accommodate larger fish in the 29 gallon than the 20 gallon long.
In favor of the 20 gallon, water changes would be easier and the shorter tank would mean less expensive lighting.
Are there other things I need to consider in making my decision? Your insight would be appreciated.
