Currently, I'm MAXED out with what I am running/building... My 75G in the living room. And the 40G Cube I'm still working on.

I do however have 1 tank designed that I would like to get built when I buy my first home. 66x30x20 172G...

And then a "Dream Tank" Angled L shape 590G Tank sometime in the future. 36"x48x36" for the front viewing panels, then 30 deep and 24 tall... If I remember right. LOOOOOOOOONG way away.

Ok, I would like a 1000g tank but I think I would have to get into selling drugs or hit the lottery....as the house would have to match the tank. However I will stick to the 90g+72g+50g+15g tanks that I have at home and the 27g at work. Dream big I say......

Regardless of what I could afford, I wouldn't go bigger than a 400G. Actually I would love a tank exactly like Brad's (Untamed) 400. I love his tank and its big enough that the fish act more naturally than say my tank but doesn't take up a whole room or have a ridiculous amount of maintenance.

The only reason I would ever want to go bigger would be a shark tank but then in that case, it would be an above ground pond with viewable side panels. I saw one like this in Singapore that was about 4' tall and must have been 12' in diameter. I don't know what it was made of but you could view it from above on a balcony (its outdoors) and also from a few viewing panels on the side that were acrylic.

Yeah see I agree that there nothing worse than a big tank in a room that doesn't have the space. Its all relative. A 12' tank in a room thats say 12'x12' is stupid IMO. Just not enough room to enjoy the tank. Now a 12' tank in a room that is like 60'x60' would be nice

Again thats why I like Brads tank, it works in the room so perfectly. Actually same with Jason Mckenzie. Jason did I spell your last name right?? His big tank is a great size for the space he has it in.
