what size tank should I upgrade to???

[saltyESQ]

I have a humu trigger, maroon clown, and a porc puffer.
they are all getting along nicely in my 90g atm. I do realize that they will outgrow the 90g, but I am not sure what size tank to get.
I think I should start planning out now what I am going to need in about a year.

would 150g be sufficient?

(gf would also like to add an emperor angel- with that included what size tank?)

thanks,

and any advice on how to do a tank change? how do I cycle the new tank and how do I deal with the fish? thanks

get the biggest as possible...good chance to get your dream tank.

with bigger tank you will be wanting to add more fish.

if I go too big, my g/f with throw a fit. I have seen a 300g tank and there is no way she would go for that and it looks too difficult to clean. I was thinking 180g, but it would be easier for me to get 150g. would 150g be large enough?

I'd go with at least the 180 if you are going to do an emperor.

 

[saltyESQ]

what about w/out the emeror? 150g?

Sounds like a good time to upgrade tanks and girlfriends .

I say a 150 would be good without the Angel and you can add other small aggresive fish, 180 for the Angel though those things are massive

heheheheheheh. get the 300 if she dumps you she isnt worth it. tell her it's only material. that;s how I got my ***** am , now I cant keep my wife out of it

 

[keefsama2003]

my wife made me get my 300 i was planning on a 155 bow front and she was the driving force

300 isnt too hard to clean just takes time.

little extra time isnt much for a good size tank

I hear that . When I got my 125 my wife said don't expect me to be involved in cleaning it at all . As well as thats a big enough tank .
And guess who is the first one to grab the scrapper and scub algea. who scrubs out the over flows while I siphone water. Who wants nano's for bedside lamps who's ready for a reef tank. Honey the triggers need an upgraded tank . OK.

I said hony I'm building a shark tank . OK . Its going to be 8x4x4 . OK as long as I can get a stingray for it .

Seriously if she can't go along with something like a fish tank your gonna have bigger problems in the future . a 300 gallon tank is small potatoes compared to a house and kids .

i would atleast say the 180 for emperor. just my opinoin.

 

[Deacon]

I'd also do the 180...even without the emperor. Same length as a 150, just 6 inches wider, but will make a huge difference for your fish.
