Large (dream?!?)tank brainstorming thread, input appreciated!

[smokinreefer]

I'm thinking maybe put like a step along the bottom of the stand so that I can reach further into the tank, and my kids can stand on it and see into the tank from a better height. Maybe have it removable incase I need access under the stand. But I don't want it to be a hazard it possibly topple if the kids are on it. I also wouldn't want it to be in the way if adults are trying to look into the tank up close.

Ok, I get it about the buyers remorse. I'll have to crunch numbers and see exactly where the tank will be situated before I can determine what max size I can afford.

What are you guys lighting your tanks with? Especially those spectacular tanks like lpsreefers 10 x 3?!?

As much as I want to use MH again, I don't think I can deal with the heat effectively. Or would a house having HRV do the trick? (That's another topic I'll have to get into) or I suppose this is my brainstorming thread...

Will having a house with HRV eliminate problems with heat, moisture etc the tank will most likely be free standing or peninsula as opposed to being situated in wall or with a fish room.
