dream aquarium

[Emg]

I'd like to have an indoor pond for my red-tail cat and some other pondfish in it. Then a 300-400 Gallon aquarium for my Bichir. The pond would basicly be a HUGE square aquarium though, or a pool maybe with some windows in the side? I dunno but it'd be cool!

WOW....lol.....what size tank are you picking up for that RT cat....and how soon before you get it ??

Check out this site.... when he grows too big for your tank, you can always eat him !

I've got my mind set on a L shaped Acylic....

Sorta like this....

I like how the middle of the "L" gets spanned. Ideally It would be north of 100gal, maybe 125 to 150.

I'd also love to have a fish room someday when we have a basement and have a setup where there are water bridges between two large tanks, and be able to vary the tanks to be friendlier to different types of fish - some that need room to swim, and those that love a dense planted tank with plenty of hinding spaces..... Time and Money .....

What is your dream aquarium?
MIne is a 500 gallon freshwater planted aquarium with all types of tropical fish.

after hearing all your great ideas i would like mine to be more than 500 gals and be at least 25 feet or longer, so the fishys have plenty of room to swim. Also a couple of small waterfalls would be cool and relaxing.

You can really take this to the extreme if you think about it. I've always thought the tank with the waterfalls and wildlife that you see in Bass Pro Shops was awsome. If you had the money to build the house, wouldn't you want a centerpiece like that in your game room?

What about your own personal dive tank? I'd love to incorporate a salt water dive tank into a home. Have several walls in the home nothing but the tank walls. Say maybe 35' deep by 60' long by 40' wide? Set that up as an Ocean reef habitat and really enjoy it from anywhere in your home.

OK... back to reality. Given that I'm not Bill Gates, and I don't have his money, I'd love to do several hundred gallons. I currently have a 125 gallon tank, set up as a freshwater tank. I've got a 55 gallon in the garage that I need to clean. That one will eventually be a reef tank. But, I'd love to find a tank maybe around 700 gallons or so. Say 8' long, so you could use it as a wall. Set that up as a reef tank and I think I'd be set!

My dream aquarium would be a heavily planted 1000 Gallon tank filled with schools of 40-50 Glowlights, 40-50 Neons, 40-50 Cardinals, 40-50 Harlequins, 40-50 Corys, 10-20 Kuhlis, Many Shell Dwellers, and 6-10 Congos and 6-10 Bosemanis!

It'd be soo cool to give them all the space they'd need instead of getting big fish in a big tank.

I want a 1000 gallon in wall tank, a room divider type. I think I would do saltwater in it with a large easter island statue like the London Aquarium. With all the problems I have maintaining my tank now I'm not 100% sure how I would be able to work on the bottom of a tank that size.

A big 600+gl tank fully planted, with 12 colorful discus and a horde of 200 cardinal tetras. The full set up comes complete with someone to clean it and pay for the bills.

I'd have a long tank... about 30 feet long, 4 feet wide, and about 4 feet deep. Then, I'd have the one side of the tank almost completely terrestrial, and have a LONG decline to the other end of the tank (to simulate a shore line, kinda) and that would end about 2/3 of the way down the tank. At the deepest part of the tank, I'd have the canopy lights heavily diffused so that it was much darker, causing the light to fade up as the water got shallower. That way, I'd be able to have a more complete ecosystem.
