changing tanks

[tmkx3]

I am considering changing from my 125g 6ft long tank to a 92g bow front corner tank. The 6 foot long takes up way to much room. I currently have 5 fish 2 tangs, a yellow and a powder blue, a foxface which is pretty big, and 2 clowns. I have been told that the difference in sizes of the tanks shouldn't be a factor. That there really isn,t that much difference in the surface area. Any thoughts?

Well considering the 92bow is what... 48inch-4 feet? and the 125 is 6 feet, I think with two tangs you should keep the 125...IMO

The tangs and foxface need swimming room. Stay with the 6' tank. I wish I had the room for an 8' tank. It's not just surface that counts. Some fish need room to swim. They will be overcrowded in a 4' tank.

I kind of agree. Tangs need plenty of length for swimming area. If it was up to me I would stay with the 6 ft tank. But if you dont have the space then what can you do. I`m just making sure you know that the person that said it wont make a difference is not right.

Have you considered going to a 4' 120g tank? They are deeper then the 92 bow and would accomidate a little more swim room.

If you can manage I would stick with the 6' tank as well.
