Your Perfect Tank?

[ox5477]

If money was no object then what is your perfect dream tank?

The only guidelines are that all fishkeeping rules exist (ie. pay attention to fish communities, filtering is a must, does need to be heated?, logistics of feeding), you will have to clean and upkeep it on you own, and if it fails, you will not get another chance at it.

Following these guidelines, what would be your dream tank you will have one day if you hit the lottery 8) ?

Inlcude details.....salt/fresh, size, shape, fish stock, corals/invert stock, landscape, yada...yada

Let your imagination go wild!!

9x4x3 foot tank. Some bog wood arround the edges, sand bottom. Dimmed flourecent bulbs. One of those things that declorinates the water. Massive over filteration, from pond filter or 3, and some external heaters.
Would have it FW, and id stock it with a red tailed cat, red cross back aro, 2x P14s, 2x Hystrix, 5x silver needle fish, some lima shovelnoses, 6 Campbelli tigers, and Tire track and fire eels, and thatd be about it. And obvuiouse id be able to have it downstairs

id get like 5 20x10x5 foot tanks all with different biotypes. 1 would be a reef, 3 different tanks with the 3 different lakes of africa and a south american with like a thousand neons

i didnt think about having more than one not quite so huge tank.


always spend my money without thinking first lol.

Circular (or at least eliptical) pool, 30-40 foot diameter and stock with a couple of "ram ventilation" (as in have to keep swimming) sharks. That would be lovely. Tank would have to be fairly empty, though once the sharks are fully grown you could probably have a couple of reef atolls in there for them to swim around.

i no its not really that special, but i always wanted the wall dividing my kitchen and living room to be a complete marine reef fish tank setup probably with a few devides in there so i could have all different types of fish, triggers, clowns, lion fish ahhh those would be the days

i would have an aquarium that dwarfs London Aquarium.
people would pay to come and see it, it would be that spectacular.

Money no object hey? Well instead of a water tank id build an underwater air tank/house made of glass and place is in a coral reef.

i always thought it would be pretty cool to have a big, really big, square tank in the middle of a big room. with lots of rock work in the middle, piled pretty darn high, and lots of free swimming space, lightly planted around the edges. maybe 350gallons or so. 22" high or so. 5 - 6 feet long on each side. lots of african cichlids obviously. it could give you some serious room to set up those rocks and stuff. and swim room front to back as well as side to side.

it would be real cool so see a tank from four sides rather than just the font. I often enjoy looking down on my fish from the surface of the water. it would be that much cooler in a big old square tank.

Could also put it against a wall like normal, with filtration, etc on one side, and then have three large viewing areas. someday... ahhh. someday.
