What would be the ULTIMATE reef system??

[disccollector]

If money were no object but your house/apartment was the same size what would be the equipment/specs of your dream system?
There's so much to choose from so I don't even know myself...I just know a "better" everything would suit me. But I'm hoping to get specifics on the "best" of the best from your dream set ups so I know what to strive for

A fully-automated in-wall tank with easy access that isn't too large to maintain. I would like to enjoy the reef rather than it be my full-time job.
With that said, Steve Weast's tank comes pretty close to my dream system!

I was going to put the same thing when I saw the title of the post!!!!!

he he...I knew everyone would say "Steve Weast"...that's why I added the that your house/apartment didn't change...maybe you guys have additional room for a 900 gallon tank buy I know that 75's as big as I can do for now

OOOOOHHH!!! I didn't even read that part. I was to anxious to answer. But with that being said, Yeah I think I could put one of the kids in the backyard and get a tank like his if money were no object.
Now I don't wanna hear all the fussin' about the kid... I'd give him a tent, and still let him come in to pee if he needed to!!! :joy:

I answered that way because my wife is allowing me liberal use of the basement in our new (well, we still have to sell our current house and find a new one) house for aquarium gear, displays, etc. So I will have room for something that large, but instead will build my new 150 inwall with a moderate fish room behind it. I will consider it my realistic dream tank.

In-wall
125 gallon w/ built in overflow, 100 gal fuge, 50 gal sump, mag return. Kalk reactor, 3x 400watt(10K XM) metal halide 220w VHO Actinic, 400 lbs of live rock,shallow sand bed, tons and tons of SPS, LPS, and softies, i've got the space in my house but not the $$

How about the guy on this board (I think he's a gen contractor) who has a 900G or so tank that's got a 125 sump and roughly the same size fuge! Do a search, but the tank is incredible - about 8ft wide x 9ft long and I think 2-3ft high. Just amazing! Some awesome pics too if you can find the thread.

its 800g i think and that is Steve Weast who is the person they were talking about in this thread earlier
