so the 55 gallon footprint is 48x12 = 576 sq inches
mine is 36x18 = 648. so actually bigger, just not as high.
but is it the length is more important?
Most rainbows are a little pricey for just starting out and making sure I do things right. My LFS wants $36/pr and $50 for the two that would possibly fit for me, and I just can't justify that cost when you get 6-8 fish. Far cheaper online, but then LFS are doing well on my water system and don't have to have all the shipping worries.
