Im considering upgrading my tank setup and keeping my 55 gal as a quarantine/secondary tank. I need some help deciding the best way to go and could use everyone's recommendations...
Im considering either a 90 Gal or 120 tank. I have space on my stand for either as long they are 4' long. What I need to consider is what fish can I keep in either one, do I have any options for some fish in a 120 that may be little to big for a 90 gal? or the same thing with corals?
Is a 120 much more to maintain over the 90? like larger water changes, empty weight if I have to move etc...Also, Ill need to consider some new equipment. Ill need a larger sump pump, but how big? A new heater, how powerful? Also, I hate to even think of a new scrubber... :grumble: but hopefully I can mod mine now to work.
And of course the big one... New Lighting 8-)
I have no idea what will be required by either the 90 or 120 far as lighting goes. I would be keeping a variety of corals. What have people had good results with for lighting large reef tanks other than VHO's . T5 + Metal halides im guessing? but how many of each and how powerful? Any input or successes with 90-120's please share!
