So currently I have a Biocube 29. However my LFS is doing a huge sale, they have a 76G and a 144G on sale for the same price. Question is will the jump from a 29G to a 144G be too much...should I settle for the 76G. Decisions, decisions....
 
No such thing as too much! Lol you'll eventually want to upgrade to a 250 :)
 
Have a nice talk with your wallet and see if it wants to lose some weight. If so, go for the 144. Realize the cost of the tank is nominal. It's all the other stuff that is going to cost $$$$ cha-ching!
 
Go with the bigger tank if you can, I went from a 72g to a 120g and I've already ran out of space for corals. I should have upgraded to a 200g tank. It happens in this hobby. Upgrade after upgrade. Lol
 
I went from a 75 to a 100 and now I want a 300dd. Lol my wife said heck no on the 300dd. : - (
 
144 ! 144 ! You'll be running out of real estate faster than you thought with a 76.
 
Bigger is better if you have the space. I upgraded to a 190 from a 90 and love the extra room!
