Thanks for your help\suggestions with planting my 55 gallon tank in the other post. Â Now that I have it full of substrate and a driftwood centerpiece I am coming to know the limitations of using the narrow 55 gallon tall as a planted tank.
I'm at a decision point now before I buy plants and fish. Â
Would it be worth the hassle of selling my 55 with stand on and put off the "here and now" to gain the five or so inches that a 75 would bring? Â I don't have so much $$ in the tank and stand that I'd loose my shirt on it even at craig's list prices.
So what do you think?
55Gal   48x13x20 - Stick with it bud.  A tank in hand is worth two in the lake.
75Gal   48x18x20 - Bigger is better and that extra five inches makes it worth a bit of hassle now.
90Gal   48x18x24 - Taller and longer, Taller and longer.
120 Gal  48x24x24 - Double your pleasure, Double your fun.  You'll need to buy another $$ filter though.
Let's stick with 48in. so I don't need to sell my new lights. Â No, 96in wide is not an option now even if I was given the tank!
