What is your dream tank?

[hawkfish101]

What is your dream tank how many gallons and what kind of fish.
My dream tank is at least 500 gallons something that I can afford and have the time to clean it each week. I would like to have a school of large Angles in my tank. May be three or four of them of the same kind. Like having a school of them.What are your dream tank. Tell me some of your thoughts on this.

I want at least 5 or 6 feet long, don't care about gallons. I just want to be able to have a yellow tang.
so fish for the dream tank would be a yellow tang, pair of clowns, and a six line. I'd have lots of inverts and at least two stars.
and some lr to watch.

It's in my house already; a 150 gal FOWLR with a French Angel as the "centerpiece fish".

 

[magic]

this is my dream tank, hey you never said realisticly! I would have to be rich and hire people to clean it and whatever else it needs done.

I haven't figured out how many gallons it would be, but I have the ideal place to install a 12' x 3' x 3' tank. Which is my ultimate dream!!!

 

[iceburger]

my dream tank surrounds a circular room, safe to say maybe 24 feet long, four feet high and maybe 4 feet deep...ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
lol if i ever become rich...

I have heard of an housing complex in Tennessee that has a Saltwater pool for people......my dream tank would be to have a saltwater pool converted to a "dive in" aquarium!! BYOS...bring your own snorkel...parties!
10,000 gallons should do it.
Or my own piece of the ocean....either one!
Realistically though....I am building a house in 2004 and have plans to put a 180 gal. in the wall...with an equipment room on the other side of the wall. .....that is really my dream tank...someday to be a reality.

I pretty much have my dream tank. If I could I would go a bit bigger but my 180 is pretty nice. Not nearly as nice as many I see but I am not as good as others are yet.
I have a 180 that I built into my home office wall. The other side of the wall is a fish room. So on one side is the tank and the other side is all the fixin's. Its a great setup. Now, I just need more time and money!

one that cleans, feeds and doses itslef.

Mine would be a 175 gallon bow front reef ready!

I'll be starting to set mine up hopefully next month. It's going to be a 180 aggro tank. Still haven't decided exactly what I want to put in it but I'll figure that out as I go along

[firegarden]

There is a restraunt in Biloxi, Miss that has 4 10,000 gallon tanks! It's mesmerizing...that would be cool...

 

[maroonclownfan]

JPeavy,
I was told that some people use SW pools to avoid using chlorine to keep down algae. I don't believe this because the algae certainly likes to grow in my SW tank!
I don't know, maybe because the salt water doesn't hurt your eyes like FW with chlorine. Anybody know why?? Maybe you could ask the people in your complex why??? Let us all know?
I once took a cruise in the Caribbean and the cruise ship filled the pools with freshly filtered Sea Water every morning. That was pretty cool. Wish I lived close enough to the ocean to do something like that.
Oh well........thats why they are called dreams.....MCF

I'd set up a room with a 10,000 gallon aggressive tank on one wall flanked on either side by a 7,000 gallon reef (lotsa clams) and a 7000 gallon fish only.
