 | Tank Question |
SJinNJ Fish Addict Posts: 568 Kudos: 447 Votes: 16 Registered: 21-May-2003    | Hey folks, I'm still trying to put together my plan for my first SW tank. I'm doing alot of reading. I did go to price tanks, I was looking at a 46 gallon bowfront, but then I noticed a 65 gallon tall tank that was bigger and cheaper. Is a 65 gallon tall good for SW? |

I was considering going with the 90, but that's a lot taller and figured that the 72 BF would give me more surface area, and it also looks nicer IMO.
