wider or longer????

[carcinoma]

hey guys, thanks for the input. Of course I would agree with everyone that says a longer, wider, tank would be preferred. I presented the two options above b/c if I had ONLY these two tanks, then which one would be better for a temporary "Grow-out" type tank for a 7" saucer?
So which one?
The longer, more narrow 135g?
Or the shorter, wider 90g?
Thanks!

135 gallon holds more water.... go for that one

I would typically say go for the wider but because the 135 holds more gallons, which translates to less worry about water quality given you stay on a consistent water changing regiment, and given you will eventually need to upgrade either way, I say 135 long.

Wider seems the logical choice to me.
