Well they call it a 55 gallon tub, there is more width to it but not as much length. It just seems like there is not enough room to add much because it not as long as your normal length 55 gallons. It holds as much as a 55 gallon but its more square. I hope this makes some kind of sense. I was just curious how should I go about adding fish and other water creatures in this tank.

I dont have much info based on a 55 gal tub. as far as a tank is concerned it all just depends on what you want to do.. whether its fish only or reef. there is a lot to start with, have you read any books or done any research on what you want to do?

ok well in a tank that size, chromis, and cardinals are good schoolers.. you will have to avoid tangs. not much i could say here with a cube 55, if it were a 55 long, i might suggest a heniochus school. some say that they will be too big for a 55, but with just those guys and a good amount of LR (75-90lbs) your reef will look great. you may have to pay attention though with them, some wont touch a coral while others my digest an expensive treat..
