I love the 75 gal @Salted has, and I like my 40b. But why don't they make a stock 90g that's 24" deep 48" x 24" x 18"- I love a deep tank- or do they? I can't afford one- but I am a dreamer :)

A 48" x 24" x 18" is a stock 90G: Aquarium Dimensions - Standard Fish Tank Sizes Chart - Aquarium Dimensions
The only advantage of a 75G over a 90G is that it will result in fewer wet sleeves for you. The upside is that, with the same footprint, you get room for 20% more water. Water volume counts - the more water you have, the more slowly it will deteriorate.

I think you have that wrong. A stock 75g is 48w x 18d x 21t. A stock 90g is 48w x 18d x 24t in your link. A tank that is 48w x 24d x 18t would still be a 90 but not stock as far as I know. I'm into more inches front to back, not taller.

Most of the stock tanks are not designed for Saltwater, at least not today's salt water aquarium hobby. Marineland/aqueon have not changed these dimensions for the last 30+ years. That's why there's room for the likes of Waterbox/Red sea etc...

Ooops... I guess my depth is your width and your depth is my height.
