The best tank size ?

[Hud]

The best tank size is the biggest one you can afford

Yep

 

[Hud]

The best tank is one 25-50% bigger than the listed tank size for what you want to keep.

Haha

Even though the bigger the "better" I truly think a 1000 gallon would be my max. I think the maintenance is feasible with just me, anything that is almost swimming pool size would need an aquarium service company otherwise maintaining it would be a full time job and I wouldn't be able to enjoy the aquarium. Realistically I would like a 500, since I enjoy seeing the small fish, inverts other small organisms swimming between the rocks and coral more than I do a large fish swimming back and fourth.

500 would be awesome and you can keep a big variety of fish

I was always told 75-90 gal . Technically the same foot print and easy to maintain .
and I’ve started with a 75 upgrading to a 90 .

that being said the most recent upgrade was to a 230
The few issues :
1) hiring a moving company to move it
2) mixing enough water to preform water changes
My dream tank …. Somewhere in the 1000’s group .
Something deep enough to dive in to clean ,

one day …..

Thats been my dream too, a tank big enough that I can get into it to clean/scape

I agree but what’s your dream tank size

I’m very happy with what I have, a 75 gallons. More than that and I wouldn’t be able to take care of it properly.

I currently have a 32g and a 10g. In the past, I've had a 60g and a 120g. I feel like 60-80g is about the right size for me. I can get some bigger fish, while still having pretty easy maintenance. With my 120, I got a bit lazy on the maintenance since it was more of a chore.

6ft 180g pretty much opens a lot of possibilities

Larger enough for me... but not so large the Wife goes off like this:

What are you doing to MY HOUSE? You...

It was like that when I installed the Rodi unit lol

8’x4’x24” would be my dream tank could keep anything I would want and maintaining it would be just as easy as my 210 if not easier being shorter.
