90g or 120g debate

It's a no-brainer, the 24" of depth (the front to back dimension) leaves you WAY more aquascaping options. Always go with depth.

If it's a DIY built stand, it would not be too difficult to "dress" it up a little, if you're a little bit handy. For example, since the structure is already sound, you don't have to worry about the exterior providing any additional support. Thus you could go with a thin layer of plywood, stained and varnished, and maybe some cabinet doors.

Or heck, do as suggested and build an inwall tank. Makes for a super quiet tank viewing experience.

Go with the 120g more room is always better

We have a 120g and we bought a stand from petsmart for $240 a nice wooden one that fit perfectly.

I've always had 18" (front to back) tanks & now I have a 24" tank & it's awesome. Of course, now I wish it was 30" or more so that I would have more room to aquascape.

Seriously, having that extra space will open up many more options & your fish & corals will appreciate that extra 6".

I think the correct answer would be to GIVE me the 90 gallon on my way back from Castlegar May long. That way you don't have to worry about what to do with it.

What do you need? Right now I can do frags of pink rimmed cap, orange cap, frogspawn, green candy cane & bule prostrata (acro). Everything else is pretty small still. They should all make the 7-8 hour journey. Let me know if you need anything from the LFS.

the pink rimmed cap and blue prostrata sound nice. i have some frogspawn, but there's always room for another frag.
i probably don't have much you'd be intereted in but your welcome to come and have a look

what day you guys coming in ?
on one of our trips to calgary, when the boys were small, we figured we'd leave after supper....the kids would sleep all the way...they did fall asleep right away but were up by Creston. we ended up spending a night in Fernie..
