New upgrade tank size ideas.

foundnemo11 · 09/06/2014, 12:39 PM

I am planning on upgrading from my 75 reef. I was thinking of getting a 120 but now debating about the 48" 150 gallon

I would like a 6' tank but the spot my tank is in it will look too big and I will have to get new lights and stuff. So I'm thinking 48" would be best.

I have reef breeders photon 48. I think that will be ok for either size tank.

What would you guys do in my situation. I'm thinking the 150 is the best bet

Only problem I'm thinking of is getting to the bottom of the tank. The 75 is hard enough reaching into. I'm 5'9" so I may have to get a snorkel

I know you said you didn't want a 6' tank but you should take a look at DSA 155 gallon. It's 72X24x21. Shallow enough to make work and lighting easy. Lots more real estate for corals and swimming room for fish. Gives you lots of options.

Have you considered a 60" tank? I really like the DSA 190 - 60x24x27. ..... The 48" light might work if you are doing a mixed tank with the ends being for lower light stuff.... And easier to get to the bottom than a 48" 150
