I'd go for 30 for the same reasons as JT. 20's are hard. I have a 20 long and it's a constant battle to keep stable. I just was out of town for a week and things hit the fan big time.

What is on the other side of the wall? Would you have room for a sump? If so, you could greatly increase volume and stability.
