    If I am deciding between the two would there be any reason to go with the 75 over the 90. I have been leaning toward the 90 the whole time, but now I am undecided.

    You'll never regret going bigger... Only smaller... I'd go for the 90

    What are the dimensions? If the 90 is longer than the 75, you might be able to get away with some fish that require "larger" aquariums... plus, you'll have more room for coral.

    Look at it this way... when will you ever look at the 90 gallon and say "gee, I really wish I would have just gotten a smaller 75", compared to looking at the 75 and saying "gee, I really wish I would have gotten the larger 90". ;D

    90. Always get bigger. you'll probably be looking to upgrade that 90 to a 125 in like two months, then a 210, then a 265, then a 300...etc. hahaha

    definitely go bigger, always

    The only real difference between the two is the tank height, 21" or 24", length and width are the same.

    I went with a 75G over a 90G because I feel it leaves to much of a gap between the rockwork and the surface of the water. It is amazing what 3" can do.

    That's exactly what I have been thinking, plus the added height making it difficult to reach the tank bottom.

    Yup, that is another issue for short people and those with stubby arms.
