From 90 to 120 is not a big different you will ask this question in 6 months. Unless space is not permitted don't upgrade just 30g bigger because u will running out of space very fast and Everytime u upgrade it will cost u more money.

That’s exactly what we found after all our upgrades! Think we are almost happy with 2, 300 gal tanks and 93 cube! Lol but wish we had room for 500-600 gal. But house is too small and already looks like a public aquarium!From 90 to 120 is not a big different you will ask this question in 6 months.

Agreed, I went from 75 to 210, great decision. I have room underneath for a 40 breeder which is ample space for 2 4inch socks, RO 150 skimmer, refugium and return pump . I have a 10 g ATO and external UV and reactors.I would look at getting a bigger tank. 90-125 is not a huge difference. Look at a 180. That 6 more inches in depth makes a huge difference. Opens up a lot of options. Most of the equipment is the same. My only complaint going from my 93 to 180 is my overflow choice.
Agree, a taller stand. Shop around at skimmers and look at their height and add a few more inches for O&M then room for pipes above thatYou have any pics of the stand/sump system? Im almost final with my sump/stand design, would love to see what youre running.
I’m about a year and a half into my first tank. I would have spent more time/money on my aquascape. I’m somewhat happy with it but I wish I would have spent the money on some of the nicer rock like Tonga and shelf.

I found the tank height depends on how it's viewed. Our reef was set up higher, being near the kitchen where its seen standing or sitting at the bar counter. For viewing, it's great in that setting. I keep my hands out of the tank and have auto water changer, but occasionally use a two step stool for maintenance. Making the stand out of plywood and designed taller for stand viewing, gave extra room in the stand which I used to created a shelf to store the wires, transformers, outlets and battery back ups. It allowed room to organize complexity.
I think most would agree extra stand space is a premium. Unless you have a fish room, consider expanding the stand space where you can. It's like having extra money, you will likely use it
This is inside the stand with the shelf closet doors closed and open.
I can get you an exact measurement when I get home. I think the stand itself is 32 or 34 inches tall plus the 31 inch tank. Wasn't thinking when I made it I guess. Don't forget though to leave yourself enough room under the stump to be able to get equipment in and out. ie skimmer, reactors and such. Here is a pic of my setup.
Thank youWhat a nice set up!
No I bought it when we were on a cruise in the Bahamas.Did you build the ship in the upper left? I build the same one about 20 years ago.
