Here my dilemma I have a 75 gallon reef tank and a 65 gallon tank I bought that hasn't been set up yet but I do have everything. Now I just saw a 200 gallon and fell in love what would be better two 65 and 75 gallon tanks or one 200 gallon ?

I have two tanks set up, a 300 and a 155 reef. I enjoy having the two. One is fish only(nasty triggers/angels, eels) and the other softies.

I'm a fan of 1 big tank and 1 small tank. I'm planning a build for either a 150 (5'x2'x2') or a 180 (60"x30"x24"). And for the small one, a 37 gal cube. So I'd say do the 200 and keep the 55.

Personally, I'd go for just the one. I've had multiple tanks in the past, never again (I shouldn't say never... ).

Too much work. But that's just me.

Depends on what you want to keep. I have a 65H with a pair of GSMs and a LTA. I would like to have another pair of clowns and maybe some bangai. The GSMs would never allow the 2nd pair of clowns and would probably stress out the bangai so I set up a 20H that runs through the same sump and refugium. Now the GSMs/LTA are in the 65H SPS tank and the Percs/RBTA will go in the 20H LPS/Ric/Zoa tank.

sounds to me like what you've got is a nice large tank, with display refugium (75) and ample sump(65).
