my 55g is getting pretty full now and im looking to get a bigger tank. my stocking is in my sig. im wondering if i upgrade to say a 75 or 90, same foot print just taller, would i be able to move everything over to the new tank? i would consider keeping the severums and pleco in the 55g but i kinda wanted to stock it with something else. im also about to pick up a 5" long fin senegal. my filtration would be 2 AC70s and a rena XP3(same as my 55g). i would consider upgrading one 70 to a 110

so the 75/90g would be stocked
2 severums
2 senegals
1 delhezi
1 royal pleco
1 indo dat

i might go 48x24 tank though but would prefer 48x18 since i have a stand for it already
 
The polys should be fine in the tank...

The more, the better... Id say go for the 90 if u have the space..

The 48x18 is also pretty good.. Go for it if u wanna save some cash on the stand...
 
The dat might get a little big for that tank but all the rest should be fine...sens and dels RARELY exceed 1 ft.
 
sounds like it would work....the Dat would be fine in that tank for quite some time as well, they are notoriously slow growers.
 
the dat is still only 2-3" right now so by the time i need to upgrade from a 90 will be a while and by that time i will have a larger tank.
 
The pleco may suck on your polys. The seng should be fine, but the del will exceed 12". If you have access to a tank with a bigger footprint, that may be better as you have a lot of bottom dwellers.
