If you were to get another tank or get back into the hobby what for you would be your ideal tank that you would be happy with

Mine personally would be a 150 gallon shallow reef peninsula tank with a 3 foot drop off on the end I've been fascinated with these tanks since I first saw them here on the build forum. This would be my ideal tank.

My ideal tank is the one I have right now, it's 36x24x21" with a false back for the overflow which makes the display 36x21x21" and about 68 gallons.

Now, if you're referring to Dream Tank, that's a whole different thread (and income tax bracket)... :lol:

I think I have my ideal tank : 78"x30"x24" . False wall overflow (6") which reduces it down to 72". Water height/viewing size is actually just over 21", so I can still touch the bottom.

My ideal tank is as big as I can logically fit in my house. At this point I live in a single wide trailer and a 90 gallon fits nicely between my two living room couches. Once I buy a house I would love to build in a 200+ gallon tank with the sump in the basement (hopefully only a year and a bit away)

72 long 36 wide 18 deep would be amazing

That MACNA tank gives me ideas! What a great way to have some extra depth and more interest to fish to swim in.
Hello...Concept? Make it so!

Kinda happy with my 375 gallon (96x30x30) with a backwall / external overflow box ... although maybe 28" height would be ideal to allow reaching the bottom a bit easier.

96x48x24. Setup as a peninsula/room divider sump in the basement... Now I just need to design/build etc a house around it. 😉
