150 gallons with a 50 gallon sump. Biggest mistake? Putting it in my bedroom. But I did have water changes well worked out - CanadianMan had the insight to build a tap into my plumbing that I could just attach a vinyl hose to and send water straight to the bathroom and down the toilet. Then I pumped water up the stairs and into the tank. Regrets? It was bigger than I needed, and although it was a succesful tank with a bright future, my plans changed hardly a year later and it never had the chance to grow into what it could have been.
