There are probably some very impressive setups out there that aren't publicized for whatever reason. I've heard of a few home reef tanks in my area from aquarium maintenance companies that are in the 1,000s of gallons and cost somewhere in the 6 figures to set up, but they won't divulge much more than that.
But one tank that comes to mind is David Saxby's in England. It's something like 1500 gallons and has a nice writeup in Ultimate Marine Aquariums. That system is completely set up with the best of the best.
There are also several impressive home reefs in Germany that I've seen on the internet.

I've seen it, it's hard to miss
Great tank, amazing, but I'm sure there are crazier and bigger setups out there.Man if I had money like Bill Gates, I'd build one the size of a huge swimming pool

Here's what we need. A room where the tank starts about 4 feet up from the floor. However, this tank will go 4 feet over and into the ceiling. One big tank that is continuous and covers all 4 walls and the ceiling so the fish can swim from one side to the other without having to circle the tank! Imaging trying to keep that glass clean

I was curious what the most important factor is in the dimensions of a reef tank w/ fish?
I'd assume first importance is the length, but for the second one I don't know if it's height or width. Is it better to have a wide tank or a tall tank?
I think I"m more biased towards the wide tank, cuz you can create nice depth to the tank.
