need some advise on a new reef tank

[xxchris060]

Right now I have a 55gal and want to upgrade but use the same equipment. i have a set of 96 watt pc's. and plenty of powerheads and a large wetdry that can handle alot more (i have been told up to 150gal) Along with a protien skimmer witch i want to replace anyway. What size tank do you think would be a nice upgrade. I was think like a 90gal or maybe a bigger one because i wanted more lenght than 4 ft. Give me some feed back on what you think. Thank you chris.

If this is to be a reef tank then you will need more light.

If you go big in reef tanks it will get expensive. MH lighting would be the best. In a reef you need 1-1.5 lbs of LR per gallon and a DSB. Ditch the wet/dry.
Sorry for the pesimistic point of view but it ain't cheep and if you go big do it right.

90 would be good,but the depth vs the length of those tanks make them a bit of a problem to light.Why not look at a 125,or 130??And I agree that your PC's will not be nearly enough for a large reef.MH would be best.But your PC could be used with them...
