What would you buy????? Thoughts???
 
well ,if you had the 2500,i'd get the 125 for sure...i know if i got the 90 now ,i'd be kicking myself in a few months for not getting the 125...plus it has the full 72" lights
 
I agree with Reeffreak..Not talking about price just size of tank..I had a 4' 90g it was nice, but I love having a 6ft tank.
 
The jump in price is kinda high but I would choose a 6ft tank over a 4ft tank any day.

that's what I am thinking.... could it just be a lets keep looking for a better deal scenario?

Or.....I was also thinking get the 90 now...buy some cool stuff like controllers, mp40s, dosers RODI setups etc... and then keep looking for the great 150 gallon deal... and then dump the 90 then

I can't find a single review on these lights anywhere...... Are they any good? or junk?
 
You can do sooooo much more livestock with a 6' tank. I had a 90 gal and you are limited on your fish selection.. i never regreted going to a bigger tank other then the upkeep side of things. alot more water to change but less chance of messing things up also:Cheers:

You can't find reviews of the Nova Extreme Pros? They are great lights. I run them over my 90 and recommend them to lots of people that are new to the hobby because they are relatively inexpensive, good quality, and strong enough to allow you to keep anything you want.

I want this to be mainly an SPS tank... is that enough light?
 
The lights aren't highend but they are a good,quality light fixture.Good enough to keep all corals with proper placement meaning SPS should be in the top half.

I would at least see if you can negotiate a better price for the 125g.
