Looking for a 75 or 90 Gal tank and stand

Hi all, I currently have a 55 gal, but would like to upgrade to a 75 or 90. I'm trying to stick with something that maintains a 4' length as I upgraded my lights a few weeks back with a 48" single fixture. If you know anyone that's trying to get rid of a tank around these sizes, feel free to send them my way!

Also I may consider a 100 gal that's 5' long and just hang my lighting fixture over it. I appreciate everyone's help!

There have been a couple in the paper and thifty nickel (or whatever its called now) pretty cheap.

LOL yeah, the biggest pain in my backside has been accessing my sump and skimmer. With the 55 only being 13" wide, space is extremely tight under there, has been a pain when trying to clean, do water changes etc. I'm just tired of the hardship......and it's not that hard for me to convince myself I need a bigger tank...lol!

I have it partially planned out already. I'm going to go to a 20 or 30 gal sump once I find a tank and stand, and can use the equipment I currently have since I 2x-3x upsized on everything when setting my 55 up 2 years ago. I can just do a straight switch from my tank to the new, will just need to add a little more sand and probably some more rock in the future.

Btw, those candy cane polyps I got from you are getting big! A few more of them are starting to split as well.

I'm just now looking there. I had been looking on craigslist, and there was a 75 with stand there for $125, but it was sold by the time I saw the ad. Fortunately I'm not in a big rush so I'll just wait for the right tank at the right price!

I actually got a 95 gal this past Tuesday from a fellow reefer in Destin. I appreciate the offer though!

Hey, congradulations! Is it all set up yet???

Not yet!

I have finished thoroughly cleaning it, and planning how I'm going to plumb the sump and closed loop. Now I have a big weekend project ahead of me. I did fill it up this morning with the water hose to check for leaks out on the patio, hopefully that will check out this afternoon when I get home from work. It's going to be a fun weekend!
