55G dimensions. Good or bad?

I came across a very good deal on a 55G 48 x 12.5 x 21. That 12.5 really bothers me. Im thinking its going to be hard to build a nice aquascape.

What do you think 48 x 12.5 x 21. Good for a reef tank or not?

Thanks in advance.

Too narrow for my preference. The display of the RSM is 15 inches and I already found that to be too little. I've recently picked up a used 56g starphire measuring 36x18x21 that I think is ideal for a tank that size.

Yeah i fear its too narrow. The guy is asking $100 for the tank and stand. And it looks new.

It would make a nice frag or quarantine tank, but otherwise, it's too narrow for most of us...

I have to agree. It's better suited IMHO for a "Utility" tank (frag, sump, fuge). They are just narrow front to back and really make it hard to get a good "Look". I'm not saying some people aren't able to have some amazing 55g tanks but overall that's a tough footprint to work with.
