Have a 37g corner in the home office right now, but going to set up a 120 sometime this year... can't wait for the tax refund! That's about as big as it's going to get for a long time.

Started with a 38 gal. then upgraded to a 150 gal. with a 50 gal. sump. Now I wish I had gone bigger.

I currently have a 370G + 90G Sump and 30G Frag tank.

If I had to do it all over again I'd do a 180G short tank

Currently running a 100 gallon with 40 gallon sump.

Would love to go bigger (6' to 8' long x 30" high) but my dream is an inwall and I will need a new house; so not anytime soon.

Currently I have a 90g with ~25g sump with plans to upgrade to a 180g (likely no more than 250g water volume). I did have rather grandiose plans for a monster 8 foot tank but decided I would be much more comfortable with an "entry level" large tank. Perhaps I'll upgrade down the road, who knows.

At the moment I have a 175g bowfront but I'm thinking of going to an 8ft tank so my achilles has more room.
The thought of transfering all my stock into a new tank is giving me pause though, my present tank is exactly what I want it to be

I went the other way, downgraded (well upgraded in my thinking) from my 310 gallon system to a 60 gallon system. I missed the unique interactions of life on a smaller scale, which you miss with a big system, not entirely but enough. If I could have I would have run both systems but alas I can only afford one. I can see my shrimps now though...feather dusters, all the little life I missed or was drawn away from with the big tank. I miss my tangs though
