Favorite tank size!

, and what do you think the best size is from the list. Notice that all these tanks are 4' long (I think), hint-hint I actually picked up my brand spanking new 90g on Sunday.
I went with the 90g (48x18x24) for several reasons. The first would be space constraints and budget constraints. The 90 fit into both of these fairly well. A larger tank now that I have this new one sitting there would have been a mistake and caused some space issues.
Budget wise the expense of LR, sand, water change expenses etc. caused me to choose smaller vs a larger.
I was seriously considering the 75, but went with the 90 just for the "dilution is the solution" clause. Mo' water is better! Plus I wanted some decent depth after I add a DSB.
Just some thoughts I used to get me through my decision phase. Good luck with whatever you choose.

I always wondered what the 'E' was for also. According to All Glass the 75 E is 42 lbs lighter than the 'regular' 75. I wonder if the tempered glass bottom has something to do with that. That said, I'll bet the 75 E doesn't some with a built in overflow.
I have a 75. I really don't have room for anything larger. Even the 90 would be impractical because I have an old house with low ceilings.

i just bought a 90 as well. it seemed the economical choice for me too. i would of prefered the 120 but i had an adequate pump for a 90g and my lights are probably too weak to cover the footprint of the 90g/75g they sure wouldn't get it with a 120g.
i do still wonder if i should have stepped up to the 120 though.
the "E" stands for "economy" as in cheap. the tanks glass is thinner thus lighter and it does not come in an overflow model. the difference in pricing is really minimal between the standard and the "E" model. i would get the standard myself.
Baseman,
some manufacturers stands are only about 30" tall. that with a 90g and canopy would equate to well less than 6'.
you live in a yoda hut? :lol:
