I own a 100 gal tank thinking about 90 gal any opinion on what size is manageable and what's is to much

The bigger the tank the easier to maintain. It just mans taking a little longer wiping down the glass. But the bigger the tank is the less you'll have to really worry about the parameters.

If all your parameters are good you should be having no problems

I would always recommend the largest tank possible. I'll go further and say the largest tank with the largest sump possible.
I may be flamed to a crisp for this, but there are ways to cut down on water changes. Keeping a tank slightly under stocked, having a huge refugium for nutrient export, and very careful livestock choices.
For example, tridacnid clams have been reputed to slightly reduce nitrates through their filter feeding.

Xenia helps bring down nitrates.
