Welcome to FishChannel.com.

I would suggest you post your question on the "Everything But Livestock" forum -- I'm sure you will get plenty of input there.

Hello and Welcome.

IMO, if you have the money, go for the bigger tank--it will give you more options and help prevent overcrowding.

90 gallons is a lot of tank to play with, so if it's within your budget, go ahead.  In addition to what MOA said, the larger the tank, the more stable your water conditions tend to be once established, so there's one benefit even if it is only 20 gallons more. 

Have fun setting up whichever one you choose!  :)

What are the dimensions of a 70gal?,I have a 75 and it is 48x18x21.I should have put out the few bucks extra and bought the 90 or better yet gine with the 100(60x18x24).......Actually,the first thing I should have done was get on here and read the posts:w00t:. I think the difference in costs from 75 to 90 is around $50.00 and from the 75 to 100 is around $80.00.
