i have a 150 with a 30 gal sump. since I have my whole rec room converted in to a huge living area too. I didn't want to have a huge stand and canopy to take up space and plus i love inwalls and where mine is its the perfect place it takes no space at all.

I was lucky as well. I had an extra room in the basement that I closed off and made my inwall 250. I have a 60 gallon sump as well as two 13 gallon frag/mangrove tanks. An upstairs 50 tops it off. Humidity was a problem for a while but I installed a vent system above the 250 that now keeps everything in check. I don't think I would go bigger as I spend too much time in the fish room as it is

I have a 90 Gal with a 30 gal sump.

I would love to go bigger but the space where the tank fits in the basement works perfectly.

Currently a 75 Gallon Display with a 45 gallon Sump/Fuge.

I'd be ok with a 96x24x30 (300 gallon), however I would have to do some some serious re-wiring to make it happen (tank couldn't be further away from the Box)

Currently building a 63x24x24 tank and that was as large as i could go in the space that was donated. I could have gone deeper, but cost of glass would have gone up considerably.

Have a 145g room divider, with a 20g fuge and 75g sump in the basement. I'd love to get a tank where I could get that 3-4-5' front to back depth (think Oregonreef) but just won't be happening because committed in the area I'm at and space available.

When wife and I were looking for a new house, did it a the idea of having a display on the main floor rather than in the basement. Was though what was practical as we were buying a house not a fish tank. Joke that I'm going to live out my days here, but had to think about resell and any changes we got the builder to do.

Other than a frag tank in the fish room, about the only thing I might do is place a small corner tank (90g max) in a room setup as a computer/library type area and plumb back to the main sump. Would be a species specific tank (clown/anemone or seahorse type idea).

Guess still could have the 2000g in the basement but is this a hobby or obsession?
