	27 Gallon Glass Hex Tank
JTF Enthusiast Posts: 245 Registered: 16-May-2004	Noticed this in my walmart flyer here in canada, comes with a wooden stand black or oak finish for $199.97 canadian. Would this setup be suitable for a pair of angel fish. Are there specific plants that would work due to the distance from the hood to the bottom seeing its a hex shape. Tanks.

One of the biggest problems with these tanks is the ability to light them well as the dimensions of the top do not pair up well with any really higher wattage lights. About the only way you could get a high level of lighting would be to leave the top open and use a hanging or pendulum light or possibly a high intensity clip on type light.

Something that height is ideal, but longer.
