+mcallahan Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I'm looking to upgrade from my 55g to a 75 or 90g reef ready - ie. drilled tank with corner or center overflows. All I need is the tank and stand. If you have a canopy, great, but its not necessary. Tank should be 48"L. Price I'm willing to pay will depend on condition of the tank, etc. Quote
Hamp Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 I am interested in your 55 when you do upgrade. Quote
+mcallahan Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 Looks like for now i'll be just going with the HOB overflow for my 55g. I'm tired of waiting for the right tank and I got a killer deal on a sump so I want to hook it up. I'll keep you posted if I find a bigger tank though, Quote
Entropy Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I would get the 75g or the 120g. Both have better dimensions than the 90g. I had the 90g and regretted it. Quote
+mcallahan Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 you need a 125 Hmm...wonder where one of those would be available? Quote
+mcallahan Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 I would get the 75g or the 120g. Both have better dimensions than the 90g. I had the 90g and regretted it. what did you not like about the 90g? Quote
+mcallahan Posted November 8, 2008 Author Posted November 8, 2008 I'm still looking for a 75g that RR and 48"L. I'm also open to bigger gallons as long as it is 48"L. (Keeping it 48"L lets me keep my light fixture which is perfect.) Quote
wesheltonj Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 How much are your looking to spend? And are you interested in a 90 bowfront @48"? Quote
+mcallahan Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 Well I picked up a 90g RR from river city today for a smokin deal - $290 for tank, plumbing kit and tax. Thanks everyone for your ideas and suggestions. Now all I need is stand! Quote
fishfriendly Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I got a 105 gallon 48" inch long. with stand. 512-797-7764. Quote
+mcallahan Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) I got a 105 gallon 48" inch long. with stand. 512-797-7764. Did you get my VM last night? The 105 is a nice tank though and someone needs to pick it up. It would be perfect for a small room as the tank has a small footprint. Edited November 9, 2008 by azcummins Quote
Entropy Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 what did you not like about the 90g? (a week late) Depth is what I didn't like. The 90g is two feet tall so you have a lot of height (which is good), but you only get 18 inches front to back to aquascape (which is the same problem in my 135g). I like at least as much depth front to back as height and preferrably more which is why I like the 120g (24x24). Then again it is hard to pass up a deal. Quote
