90g or 75g?

[Mebbid]

I have the option of either buying a new 75g tank for $250 or a used 90g tank for $200. This will be a dirted high light / high tech tank so I was wondering what you guys would pick.

I like the thoughts of the 90....but with it being so deep it would take some investment in lighting.....

I'll have 4 aquatic life t5ho bulbs over the tank which should put me at around 90 par at substrate assuming the par ratings I found are correct. It's the low end of high light but it's still high

90g, you'll be bored too fast o the 75g.

If you already got the lighting I would with the 90.....same footprint..

Might be a change of plans... Turns out it's drilled with an overflow Might be my next upgrade for my saltwater tank

Loool, your cheap setup will become an expensive setup

Haha I already have everything I need minus a refugium and substrate for a tank that size

I vote the 90 and get a 29g as a sump at the Petco $1/1!
