75 or 125 gallon

My advice is go big as you can afford, if you go smaller you will always wish you just went bigger.

I would have to say the complete opposite, reef ready systems have sooo much wasted space with there overflows plus as it was mentioned earlier they are designed for durso overflows which by standards, suck! If i had to choose between a reef ready and non, i would definitely choose non just so they have the flexibility to choose my own overflow.

I voted 125g, i was told when buying a tank go as big as you go, because if you dont in the future you'll want to upgrade and regret your previous decision

All good points. I've tried to drill a tank before and busted it. So I would rather have it already done for me. My new tank is reef ready and I dont regret having it one bit. Not even the space it takes up. That's just my experience though. Plenty of people dont have problems drilling their tanks.

I voted 125 due to more options.

op reasons why I like the rimless 75 -
Can use my existing stand

Don't know your 75 tank size but i think you can use the same stand for a 90 and go bigger and save$$$$ ,and a 120 is 4 foot to,its what i want next.

Typical 75 gallon. 120 is too deep for my application! But I do really like the dimensions of the 120!

I have a 90 and really wish I got a longer tank. It helps tremendously with keeping multiple tangs and maintaining peaceful fish. There are plenty of people with smaller tanks that have many tangs and fish and all are happy and healthy but there is no denying that having more running room is better. The only drawback is the $ and water changes - everything is bigger and more costly.
