Maybe you could rent out frag tank real estate

That sounds like a pretty huge frag tank...but pretty awesome.

I would think your light spread might be a good indicator for an idea of size.Not sure what your using for lights,but as an example lets say you have a t5 fixture 60" long you would be good for length, but at 10" width you would have a lot of light being wasted outside the tank due to the spread being more than 10" in width.( or maybe not if it only had a couple bulbs)Maybe check out what size of tank would maximize your available light.Sort of a cost effective thing.

good point, so maybe wider and not as long.
