Bigger!

In all honesty though, my dream is a 12 foot x 5 foot by 3 foot. If your going for your dream tank, I'd make it as wide as possible...

That said any 600+ Gallon tank.....FREAKING AWESOME!

An L shaped tank would be awesome, or a Horse Shoe shapped tank |_|

It depends - are the dimensions in inches or metres?

I was considering a horseshoe shaped tank when I set up a fish room but plans change. I wanted a 4' at the end with 2 x 6' tanks each coming up a side. I found a supplier for 5" D-Bit hole saws and 4" bulkheads to tie them together so you wouldn't have to build onsite. Just a thought.
