Tank Questions PLEASE Help Quickly

[playa0069u]

I'll get down to it. 30 gallon long (what I want) 30 dollars and i gotta drive an hour and a half each way to get it. 30 gallon tall. 10 bucks, across the street. well actually its like the 29 or w/e its not the 30 extra tall. the tall is 30 inches long and the 30 long is 36 inches long. i think the tall is 2 inches taller. Is it really worth it for the extra length and 2 inches of shallowness for added lighting to get the long? it will have a 55 watt pc light and a NO flourescent. thanks lots guys. Please reply quickly.

I would go with the long tank either way you are going to need more light. 36" light fixtures are easyier to find and more length IMO leads to a more stable tank do to more surfice area on the top. Either way they are both nice tanks. Just one thing though for 3 hour worth of gas + the $30 it might just be worth it to get a new one if you have a place close to you.

Gas doesnt count I have a hibrid heehee lol but the the thin is I already have the light to fit the 30 tall so ... it would be the same lighting, just two inches closer... i dont have the money to get the 36" 96 watt deal
