Introducing myself, Hello!

[Littlesquishy]

Hello! I figured I should say hello at least once while reading threads. I was lurking before and decided to make an account. Pretty awesome forum here and enjoy the search function. I got into the saltwater world early 2010s but never got around to setting up a tank. Today I want to plan things out and stick to it. I finally settled on getting a 75 gallon tank that gives me enough space for fish and mixed corals.

I would make a build thread but I find that jumping the gun before I secure a 75 gallon tank to drill. Before I even begin I got to get rid of a used 125 gallon tank sitting in the garage. Its larger than I want and i'm not willing to spend more to set it up. I plan to make a build thread when I successfully drill a 75 gallon with more information!

Not gonna lie, I'd go with the larger tank if you have the room. Cost difference is maybe another light and the the rest is just one size up on the pumps? You know best but consider, everyone wants bigger sooner or later.

If I had the space I would definitely go with the bigger tank because more options with fish and corals is awesome. I just don't have a 6ft length of space for a tank. I'm also not sure if I will move in the future for school and will down size to a 29 gallon or 40 gallon depending on the apartment.

I know its not all set in stone. Eventually I will get a bigger tank 180 gallon or 200 gallon to get the kind of fish I want like the archilles tang and powder brown. This will be with a higher paying job and hopefully a nice starter home with space for that big 180/200 gallon tank. If there isn't I will make room.
