I hate to burst your bubble but a 75 is too small for a trigger, i wouldnt put one in anything less than 100 IMO

Unless it's a custom size anything smaller than 125g is only going to be 48in. I'd say you should have a 6ft tank for one of those.

+1 BL1

i couldnt remember what the next size up was from a 90 and was too lazy to go look for it

reeffreak and Pwny thanks for actually answering my question and helping instead of bashing the idea, i have decided smaller fish, and as far as the guy who posted that vid, well congratulations i will no longer be posting in this forum site. better off talking to real people who want to help rather than discourage and put down an idea rather than help it form and change into a workable plan.

Don't go,PRC didn't mean no harm.He's just bitter because his hometown team the Detriot Lions suck.Stay here,educate yourself so you don't make the same mistakes when we have all made when we first got into the hobby.

You've had a lot of good advice here, mach...any other forum WOULD be busting your balls but not in a joking way. We keep it light here. Everyone has good intentions (for the most part :mrgreen: )

In any case, the problem w/ tall tanks is getting the most use of the space. I had a 45g tall tank. I had around 50-60lbs of live rock, and yet it just never seemed full cuz it was hard to stack them up too high w/o risking it collapsing (unless you permanently stick them together).

That said, in freshwater, they tend to follow a surface area guideline in populating a tank, but it's still just a guideline. It would apply to your tall tank...just cuz it's a 56g doesn't mean it will good for a fish that requires 55g...because the fish is looking for swimming area, not water volume, if that makes sense.

You're limited to just the smaller fish. I upgraded to a 125g specifically because I wanted larger fish. But I definitely did not buy the fish until after I got the 125g setup. You never know what will derail your plans.

Be a good sport...take a jab back :)

Yes, I've found that insulting someone's mom is usually effective. :D
