Getting a bigger tank, which one of these...

I Think i've got it narrowed down to two tanks. Either a 72 gallon bowfront, or a regular 90 gallon tank. Anyone have any opinions? Whichever tank I choose will have a 30 gallon sump on it.

Get the biggest tank you can afford or will fit in the room, then overextend yourself and get one size bigger! The fish like it more, and conditions stay more stable in larger systems.
But I would get the 90. Probably the same price as that 72 bowfront and 18 more gallons. Nothing wrong with the bowfronts and they are kinda unique but I would take the bigger tank everytime...

I have the 72 bowfront and though it is a beautiful tank, I would go with the 90. One problem with bowfronts is adding a hood to support more lighting. Unless you're a really good carpenter, making it look all professional is difficult. Of course if you're not worried about hoods and lighting options, the 72 is great.
Good Luck!
