With my budget and space constraints, I have narrowed my new tank down to two choices. Either a 72x24x24 or 60x30x24. What's the better footprint for 2 foot and under monsters?
 
Planned stocking?

I would go with the 30" wide, just because IMO-wider is better for a 2' monster. The 12" shed on the length is minor compared to the extra 6" the entire length of the tank.
 
it really depends on the stocking in my opinion though I would go for the longer tank as the extra 12 inches in length will make more of a diff with the size of the fish you are talkin than the extra width
 
I myself was in a bind too but wasn't over the width but length. I was contemplating between 96" or 84" both widths are 24" because my other tank would be in the way if I went any wider. But in your case I'd go wider but, like stated above totally depends on what you plan on throwing in there.
 
I KNOW!! go 72x30 ;)
 
If I'm not mistaken, the 30" is height not width, so their both 2 foot width but one is higher (30") and one is a foot longer, since height isn't as important with fw is go with the 72x24x24, that's a solid footprint.

Usually dimensions are given length x width x height
 
I would consider that foootprint 60 x 30 is better then 72 x 24 in most cases. What species of arowana are you thinking?

Commonly tanks are listed length x width x height.
