The sad thing is, my husband never even raised an eyebrow when I told him I was spending $1500 on a fish toilet

Yup. You've had it now! It's all just a ploy. She's got you right where she wants you, under her thumb! Before you'll even know what hit you the kitchen will be remodeled and she'll be dragging you off on some expensive vacation.

Don't listen to Lance....the expensive vacation came about because he covered his poor beleaguered wife in algae goo.....twice

You may be lucky if its only furniture she will be wanting.
A redesigned kitchen, a new car, may also be on that list.
Regardless, congrats on making the move to SW.

Gobytron, I think Marie was posting that if you have a choice between a 120 and a 90 go for the bigger tank.
There are limitations many reefers have including money, space, a marriage, and personal preference in choosing smaller tanks.
If none of the above area an issue, go for bigger.

In that case, if you should decided to go larger, consider a custom built tank.
This way you have all the features you want, and you dont waste money and time in the future upgrading your tank.

Alot of the larger more pretty marine fish are avid swimmers, they require a lot of room to browse and swim.
Many fish become stressed due to the small area we provide for them.
A 6 foot tank would be your better choice.
The 6 foot 120 gallons can be bought at the larger stores in Calgary.
But if you want a really nice tank call up the marine only stores and ask for a quote of a custom tank build.
