display tank, maximum size you're comfortable with

[digital-audiophile]

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?

my tank is in my bedroom so size was a factor for sure i have a 120 G (4x2x2) with 40 G sump and its my fist salt tank so i didnt want too much bigger to learn on

same thing for me as e46er a 120g with 50g sump in my bedroom, in the future I am planning a 5-6ft long 3ft wide by 20inches tall tank custom with a 75g sump and a 30g breeder for frags also a 33g for wc.

personaly the max i would go with right now would be 60 gallons.

mostly just because im 13, my house doesnt have much space at all (the tank would be in the ugly dark basement) and maintaining anything larger would take alot of allowances

Currently, I'm MAXED out with what I am running/building... My 75G in the living room. And the 40G Cube I'm still working on.

I do however have 1 tank designed that I would like to get built when I buy my first home. 66x30x20 172G...

And then a "Dream Tank" Angled L shape 590G Tank sometime in the future. 36"x48x36" for the front viewing panels, then 30 deep and 24 tall... If I remember right. LOOOOOOOOONG way away.

Wow... 120G in ur bedroom.. LOL I thought a 40Cube was big for my bedroom..

Ok, I would like a 1000g tank but I think I would have to get into selling drugs or hit the lottery....as the house would have to match the tank. However I will stick to the 90g+72g+50g+15g tanks that I have at home and the 27g at work. Dream big I say......
