    So I just bought a brand new 75gallon with stand, canopy, and glass canopy for $500. Got a Marineland C-530 for cheap also. Just moved everything from my 55 to the new tank(What a hassle). What a difference 20 more gallon makes. The Nemo loves, Tang loves it, Wrasse shoots like a dart everywhere. Thinking about getting a a sail-fin next... :)

    Be careful with the tangs, 75 is still marginal considering their adult size. They will also fight constantly in a tank that size if their body shapes are similar as in a yellow and sailfin.

    Years ago I went from a 55 to a 90 (same as the 75 only taller) and it was night and day. The extra front to back depth makes all the difference in the world when it comes to landscaping and room for fish to swim!

    AZ is right on with his post. A sailfin in a 75 is more than pushing it.
