Should i upgrade my tank?

[Vadafallon]

I have a 60 cube currently and its such a pain to landscape it. I have had it for a while but its just not as cool as i envisioned. I was thinking of going with some wider and maybe a tad bigger. Maybe 75 or a 90. I think i can still use my skimmer and what not with that. Thoughts on upgrading?

I know no one can tell me what to do but just looking for advice from fellow reefers who have switched from a cube to a long or shallow etc. :hammer:

I had a 65 but the 3 ft never had enough swimming room. I bit the bullet and bought a used 125 6 ft tank. It's filling with water now but I am so happy to have the room.

If I had it all to do over again, I would get a long...I think long is hands down the way to go

IMHO I would go 4 ft 90 or 120 if you are looking to keep lighting cost down. I would have but my wife likes tangs.

I had a 60 cube for a little while until I upgraded to a 120. 22 years is a little while, right???

If I do it again I will go with a 75 or 90 long. My 30 gal is a pita.

I have a Radion light right now.. i am assuming i would probably need to either get another one (soooo expensive) or sale it and get two lights to go over top.

Had a 110 tall that required me to swim. Swapped it for a 90. Still too little swimming room for fish. But also have a 6 ft 125. That fish love it.

go with the 90 bigger is better

I would go with a 4 ft 120

After a long spate of moving house every 3 years, I finally relegated my 50 to freshwater and got a 102 'dream tank.' The switch has been crazy-making now and again, but I'm glad I did. Got the damsel tank I so much prefer now that I have the extra room (they're peaceful fish in a 100 up) and am happy with the outcome.

Nice to hear Sk8r. I always like Damsels but they are a mess in smaller tanks. Little jerks of the reefing world.
