Is a 75 gallon a large enough upgrade?

[MikeD88]

I'm going to upgrade from my 29 gallon biocube. I have an opportunity at a killer deal on a 75 gallon setup... do you guys think it big enough? I want my hippo tang to be satisfied, do you think 75 is enough for that at least? Let me know what you think, Thank You!

Go bigger ! A 4' tank is not much room for swimmers like tangs. A 6' tank would be better and an 8' better yet ! Of course you could get the 75 now, and a larger tank later to go with it .

My only problem is, if I go bigger... I'm not sure I can go bigger on length. I'm somewhat limited on space. So even if I were to go bigger, it would be wider...

120 baby ! i upgraded from a 90 and its the best thing i did. i love the size of it and the extra inches in depth are amazing, and enable you to do a lot more with the aquascaping or having sand bed for corals.

180 or 210!

I say a 120 also but a 75 should be fine for now. It might be fine for a couple yrs just depends on how fast the hippo grows

Get a 48x36x27 Marineland tank if you can fit it in the budget.

75g is still consider small to me. if i want to upgrade i would go with a 250g-300g tank.

that marineland 200 would be nice. A Deepsea 185 would also be nice if you could swing 5'. 75 is just a little small when that tang gets bigger. Really 75 is kinda small period. but hey... it will feel huge for a couple months!!!
