Question 5x2.5x ?

Hello everyone, have been asking around and want to have more opnions regarding tank height. So decided to start a thread. Well the question, is if u have a 5x2.5 tank, would you prefer to have a tank ht of 2ft or 2.5. Some that I have asked, answered that width 2.5 and 2ft ht gd enuff? Some say the bigger the better, as got more space to roam and swim.

2.5 feet height for me, the viewing is really much better as compared to 2ft. Maintenance abit troublesome but for me it's worth it, regret abit never go for 2.5ft height when I got my tank.

Hmm got to agree that viewing will be more shiok, but for maintenance like scrubbing will be a bit diffcult..

2ft for me. My tank now has a 2.5ft height and maintenance is difficult. Have to climb high. 2ft will be better as easier maintenance.

Okie, seems like a few bros here prefer a ht of 2ft fir easier maintenance, what if we take in consideration for growth of ur beloved aro, would u considered ht of 2.5? Or doesn't really make a difference of just another few inches to a feet.
