New Reef Tank

[theshadowwrx]

Hey guys,
Im about to take the plunge and get my first salt water tank (that is more than a 5 gallon cube).
Im debating between the 90 and 120 corner pentagon one made by Tenecor with the reef filtration and all that stuff.
Is that a good system to get?
And could you help me decide between the 90 and 120, like how much more the setup costs would be and such.
Thanks,
Mike

One tip here, I'm not sure how long the 120 pentigon is but if you are thinking of adding fish that need room to swim, like tangs, you may opt to go for a 5 foot tank instead, like 125.
Give us an idea on what you want in the tank.
Fish only
fish with liverock
Reef complete with corals, liverock and fish.

They are both 36" deep and 36" wide at their longest and widest points.
The 90 is 24inches high, and the 120 is 30 inches high.
Thanks,

if you got the space i think you will be happier with a longer aquarium. you can get more fish and add a lot of coral to them. just my opion.

The room is only 12' X 12' so I really want to do a corner setup and I don't have room for a long tank.
As long as i can have a decent amount of coral and a hippo tang, some clown fish, etc just standard salt water fish type things I will be happy.
Thanks,
Mike
