Ideal tank size

[toytech]

4'x2'x18" high , 2foot depth is great and shorter than 2 foot high is easier to work on and 4 foot is as long as I can fit , if I had space for a 16 foot long tank id have one.

If I wanted more corals than fish...smaller more cube-like dimensions. If I wanted lots of nice fish, tangs included, I would do a larger tank, 6+ feet in length.

My ideal or dream tank would be in the center of a room with bar seating all around it. 6'X4'X2' ... some day!

But like steve said....realistically its more based on where you are putting it, and how much space is available.

Yeah 6x4 is actually probably better, a bit easier to work in. In that case maybe I'd do 8x4

The ideal tank is not too big, not too small. In fact, it's the one that's just right.

Now that I have room in my basement I would love to go with a 4' long by 3' wide and 18" deep

The ideal tank to me is the largest tank you can fit in the chosen location.....Plus 50 gallons.

Mine is roughly 31" by 31" by 31" high this is my next tank wife is not allowing me space on kitchen island but this is the ONE BABY! Then my sump area will be huge topping up and draining tank will be a switch of the button. It's right in front of my sink lol.
