I don't know if anyone has posted anything like this, but I couldn't find one and it is always interesting to see what the imagination of people can come up with. I know a lot of people say,"If I only had the money, If I only had the time, If I only had the space." So....
Unlimited budget, only limit is your imagination.
What size tank? What type of tank; FOWLR, FO, Reef? What type of filtration? What type of lighting? What other goodies; computers, dosers, calcium reactors, wave makers, moon cycle simulator, a 10' tall protein skimmer? And most importantly...what would you keep in it; types of fish, inverts, corals?
Maybe some of you are in posession of your dream tank now. If so, How is setup?
Time to let the imagination take flight.....

A beach front house and enclose a portion and turn it into a huge aquarium that I can view from inside the house. :D

I'd open a sw fish store and have someone else manage it. That way I could just help customers and work with the tanks.

My dream is to have every wall in one room be a reef tank. So you would be surrounded by a reef. I don't know how many gallons it would be but it would be big.

My dream about a tank wasn't a reef tank, rather have lots of mermaid swimming around in bikinis and without it of course :D and i will call them when i need them :p and i will be able to swim in water with them, sleeping inside shells with them without the need of oxygen <img src="graemlins//silly.gif" border="0" alt="[silly]" />

LOL h20!!
My dream.. well, from what big red said.. I would love to have a wall to be a huge reef tank!
That would probably be like 2000 gallons with the thickness I'd want.
LoL.. I would have to dive in to set up the LR!
But hey.. when I get oler, I'll definetly remember that idea.. maybe when I build my own house.
But being a little more realistic, I would want a 200 gallon reef (w/ 400 lbs LR), with a imperator angel, a flame angel, a purple tang, a naso tang, and a powder blue tang.. probably some other cool fish. Oh and metal halide lighting, a nice big protein skimmer.. and probably a wave maker.

My LFS owner knows a guy in hawaii who's basement is all glass on one side, its actually underwater at the edge of the beach. He built up a reef wall to keep the waves to a minimum and swam out and collected a bunch of corals and placed them around his wall. Then he just sits there all day and watches teh fish swim by. no need to buy them, they come and go as they please. CAn you say free aquarium??? Dont know if its true, lucky him if it is, but its my dream to have something like that one day :)

I want a tall cylindrical tank with about a 15 foot radius. It would nearly reach to the surrounding the tank would be a round bar table and stools. It would be a great tank and make the perfect entertainment area.
