Default Your ideal tank size

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)...

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)

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!
