Long time no post? I guess that means all is going well and I haven't had to run to the forum with any urgent questions.
So I've noticed my tank is getting a little scratched up from me accidentally rubbing sand against the glass with my algae scrubber. This made me go look at tanks online for fun since I don't think there's any way to fix scratches, and then I started dreaming about getting a new tank since the end of college is coming up and I'm going to be in one place for a while once I graduate and get a real job.
That being said, I know I'd like to go bigger, and I'm look at either a 75 or a 90 for a group of Discus. I know they always say go the biggest you can, but the those two tanks have the same footprint, and are only a few inches different in height. Also, the price seems to almost double when you add those extra 15 gallons. Either one would be running off a sump, which is what I'd turn my current tank into, so even if I go the cheaper route I'd still be operating at least a hundred gallon system. So, is the 90 gallon worth it?
