40 long vs 33 long.

Current tank is starting to bow in the center on top and the wife put 3 scratches in the front glass. So im looking for a new tank with the same 48in foot print as my 90. An thoughts or suggestions are and will be appreciated.

Guess i dont need anyones opinion.

75 and 90 have same footprint

My question would be, why is it bowing? Does it have a center brace? Has that come loose?

Sounds like shes about to blow!!

Does your 40 long(48Lx12W) have a center brace? Most of the tanks I have seen that have a 48inch length blue print or bigger have a center brace. I have seen some tanks bow when people cut the center brace off. Only thing they are good for when this happens is a terrarium. If your tank is starting to bow I would replace asap so you don't come home to a wet floor.

He has a 90 gallon..

Theres no real appreciable difference between a 33 long and a 40 long.

I got a 90 and the person I got it from took out the center brace and its starting to bow so I'm going to either get a 33 long or a 40 long until we have our house built and by that point we are looking at getting a 125 or a 170 reef ready.

you can save your 90. Call Forever Pets on basse rd and ask them to put in a glass center brace for you.

Eh i dont want to spend anymore money on the tank it self it has 3 big scratches on the front glass and id rather spend money to get a new tank than repair the one i got.

I like the 33 long personally

[Reef Swimmer]

Thats what i was thinking.
