75 or 90 gallon

[Melgrj7]

I am planning on getting a 75 or 90 gallon to house my (currently tiny) "electric pink" jack dempsy, electric blue jack dempsy and adonis pleco. Would I be able to add anything else into either of those tank sizes with those 3 fish, or would the tank be fully stocked when they are full grown? I was thinking a school of 6 rainbowfish or something along those lines? I generally do daily water changes on my fish tanks, on a tank that size I would probably do a daily 5 gallon water change. Filtration would be a fluval 404 (have one in the basement) and an aquaclear 50 (also have on already). Not getting the tank for awhile yet but planning is half the fun

Your AC 50 wont fit over the rim on a 75 or 90 Even the 70 wont go all the way past the ridge that holds the top. I found this out the hard way and had to get a 110.

Thanks, guess I will just buy an aquaclear 110 then when I get the tank. I'm planning on using my student loan money to buy the tank with, and since I work at the LFS I get a discount, I may even be able to go with a 120 . . . although the tank has to go on a 2nd story floor so I am a little nervous about it going through the floor, is that really a concern, or no? I usually get around $1400 back for my student loans. My fish are all tiny at the moment, but will probably outgrow their current tanks before I can get the big tank. So I will probably put them in my empty 46 gallon until next semester (fall) when I can purchase the bigger tank. Which tank I get depends on mostly price, but also what my parents think the floor can support.

That is true. The aquaclear 70 won't fit on my 120. I had to squeeze that sucker in there and it still doesn't fit. I plan on getting a aquaclear 110 and a canister for my 120 soon.
