I'm old school. I'd add some taller rocks and raise your aquascaping another 8-10" at least.

Good luck with whatever you decide. I do agree with the others who suggest going with 4' x 18" x 18" if you are downsizing.

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. I do appreciate the input. That size would have to be a custom tank (48 x 18 x 18) and I don't really want to go there.

I also looked at the dimensions of the 55 and it's too narrow. The 75 is only 3 inches shorter, if I added a sand bed it would be pretty much the same thing. When your fish start nibbling at your armpits, you know your not fresh right?

I guess I'll just hang onto the 90 and start a journal.

I had thought about that but I can't figure out how to do it nicely. Plus I would definitely get more par from the T5's.

I had a ninety as well and hated the height and how to narrow it was. I love your setup now it looks great I would say having a black background has stopped me from cleaning the back of my current tank (that and I can't do it without a snorkel lol) I would give that a shot first.
Great looking tank either way

Well I got sick and tired of standing on my toes to clean the glass. I spoke to Dave and placed an order for a 48" x 18" x 18". Thanks for everyone's help.

That's going to be a great tank!
