not worth it in my opinion. you will not be able to use your lights and get coverage and strength. now if you were to go to a 6 foot tank that is 2 foot wide then it is worth it as you get more front to back space which had more of a dramatic effect than going longer.
as for the tank.. the tank is still narrow and realy can't tunr around any better, so there is where wider is better also. people tend to try justify there getting a longer tank by saying there tangs are more happy, don't want to bust anyones bubble but tangs are a fish and have no emotions, so how are they felling happier, and how did they tell you what they are felling for that matter  Steve

This is very interesting, lots of varying opinions, i would go larger, i would like the extra space, but the thing is, i live in a townhouse and this tank is in my living room against a wall, and i think a 180 would just be too big and look out of place. I guess any input on that subject would be appreciated too. Also it seems the cost of equipment goes up a lot.
Thanks again guys Tony

Just a thought, but if I was looking at an upgrade, I would get the largest tank possible for the area I had. That being said, you figure a 180 is too large, is it the 24" width that's the problem? If your limited to an 18" width, aside from getting a custom build, your getting to a limited amount of tanks available.
A 72" 135g is already 24" deep, I think an option is going longer to an 96". If this is not an option, this tank might be the size your looking for. There is nothing worse than upgradeing just to realize you should have gone bigger. Just remember your going to increase your volume by 1/3, this is going to increase your costs as well in the future for maintainance, as well as a possibility of equipment upgrades. Just my thoughts. An upgrade is good, but a lot of work comes with it.

I'd personally only upgrade if it was both length and width. My wife has said the same before so take that for what it's worth.
