well hex tanks have two problems one of them your friend already addressed. The lack of surface area. Most marine fish need high o2 content in their water. Therefore hex tanks aren't ideal for marine aquariums, but doable. The second is lack of territory. In a hex tank there is less surface area for the fish to setup boundries and territories. Other than that, a lightly stocked hex tank can be a very unique and successful one.
