I was wrong about my tank size! I actually have a bigger thank than I thought.

I put together my new system last summer having purchased the new display tank from an old high school classmate via Facebook. He said it was 90 gallons, and I never had any reason to question it. I knew the dimensions, as I built the stand and canopy myself. I've always calculated everything out and listed it as a 90 gallon because I am not familiar with larger tank dimensions. A few days ago I was listening to a podcast and they said a 90 gallon was something different than what I had, so today I googled it and found out that it is actually a 120! I can't believe how off I was. Now some things make sense though, like how I need more flow even though I thought I had a good amount of turnover, and how I had to add more salt at first. I thought it just took more to go up from the 1.023 on the bucket to the 1.025 that I go with. I guess I can get a couple of bigger fish now.
