Do you think the 40 gallon tuff stuff ones are deep enough to serve as water gardens? They are only 13 inches deep

They are? The 40 gallon ones? I mean height, not width

If you want bigger the 100 gallon 1 is better it holds around 110 gallons and the 40 gallon filled to the top holds 50 gallons .But that is filled to the top and if the fish jump out ,that could be bad .the 40 gallon is to the lip and 14 inch's to the top The other one that is 100 gallons would be better at 20 1/2 inch's .

OK! Thanks. I have decided on the 40 gallon one...worried I would be overwhelmed by the workload of a 110 gallon water garden. The Apistos will be happy either way...they only get to 3 inches for the male (2 for the female).

good I love these better than the rubbermade ones as these have straight sides instead of sloped sides
