By the way - in considering tank sizes, you might find Marineland's standard tank size list helpful. Here's the link - you'll need to scroll down the page and select the "Product Manuals and Instructions" tab to get the pdf file of standard tank sizes.

Great thread here, i'm just going to throw in something to think about before you buy the tank. I have a "young" cycled 75 gallon mixed reef that is doing great, no sump but that's for a different thread. joshbrookkate, before you buy the tank consider the price difference between the 75g and a 120g, they both have the 48" length but the 120 gives you 6 more inches of front to back room with just a little added height. It's something I wish I would have considered before I bought the 75 because as much as I'd like to have the 120 now I just can't justify breaking my whole system down to get the added room of the 120. Just something to think about. Also I totally agree with the advise people are giving here about stain g away from the 90 for all the reasons given. Good luck.
