Well, she fell in love with all the different colorful fish, and corals, and seemed pretty willing to take the jump from fresh water (we have multiple smaller tanks already) to the SW world. BUT....
When I mentioned that since this would be our fist SW tank, I think we should limit ourselves to a nice 90, due to the fact that anything bigger would have to go in the basement, and would up the costs for rock and lighting, ect. She just said, that anything smaller than a 120 would be a waste, and really liked the look of 3 foot depth tanks. (eg: 5x3x3) (OMG!!!)

I'm thinking to myself....like kewl,....this is amazing...but then.....what does she wanna buy.....heh heh..... I'm getting the feeling new furniture is in the near future.
Go for length before depth. It will be the furniture first than a new dress, shoes or purse for every fish you buy. Hide everything and put the plastic bags in the garbage can before she comes home.
