Well. as most of us are teh same we dream for bigger tanks. I convince the girl into letting me get a bigger tank. A friend of mine is selling his 75g with stand and lights (right now i have a 55g) But her other friend is moving and has a 90g but I beleive its jsut a tank and thats it. what would be the better deal here for not only me but the fish also. I currently have 5 green sunfish and 1 yellow bullhead. I think the 90g is just smaller and higher than a 75 correct me if im wrong? Would it matter for these fish on depth or length to swim?
Tank size.

If they are standard size rectangular tanks, they have the same width x length (18 1/2" x 48"). The 90 gallon is 4 inches taller. Bigger is always better, because the more water you have, the more stable the tank will be.

I wish i could get both. As far as I know the 90g tank is just a tank. In my 55 I have a Penguin 350 and another filter both rated for up to 70 gallons. If i were to upgrade. what kinda filtration would i need? would what i have still work?

BINGO !!! We have a winner.It's simple, get both.
Unless you live upstairs. Add a few 1000+ lb tanks here and there and you may need to be thinking about your structural framing. (But one such tank definitely won't be a problem.)Bigger is always better.

Ooops! That is an important consideration. My house is on a slab, so I forget about that sometimes.
