It really depends on what kind of home I get and how well I am being paid in ratio to expenses. Besides what I have now, I'm hoping my home will have a separate kitchen instead of it being combined with the living room how it is now, a studio for my art work( I really could use this or my home will be so cluttered mixing my personal life and professional life together) and a cellar.
Then I would like my own tiny building with one room for massage within walking distance of my personal home, I imagine it like a gazebo and I have it all planned out in my head. I would prefer it be separate from my home so I won't have all these massage clients coming right into my home.
So, money permitting, I would plan along something the lines of the following.
For my home:
Bedroom: 75 gal next to my bed housing my plecos and some danios.
Studio: 55 gal betta sorority possibly including one male betta.
Cellar: 150 gal syno tank with multiple breeding tanks on a rack.
Every tank I currently have would be setup as a breeder down there as well as any free tanks I happened upon. I hope when I am no longer boarding my synos I can condition them for breeding better. So I hope the breeding tanks will be for raising the baby synos. I've seen the synos court each other and I think more then the plecos, they might actually spawn for me.
For my massage gazebo: 210 built into the wall with a solo Austrailian arowana, either a jardini or a leichardti. I'm thinking it would be better if it were built into the wall as I need room to move around a massage table and my client needs to be able to climb off and on a table easily.
So bottom line is I would purchase two tanks, a 210 and a 75 gal.
The 210 in the massage gazebo is currently most far fetched plan.
But the tanks would be the easy part of the plan...Getting a home from a lower-middle class background feels impossible.

I want to see my 180 up and running with high light and CO2 and a lush scape.
Fish wise......
otos, cories, endlers, rainbows and some other small to mid size schoolers.
Should be able to reach this within a few months.

A 100 gallon tank, with a betta in it. Ahhh the happiest betta alive!! No but really? one of those coffe table ones!
The back of my bedroom used to be the back of the house and has a 6' window which now looks out to a florida room. I have been researching a plywood tank build to go against the window and be viewed from the room. I am thinking about going 8x4x4' outside dimensions, somewhere around 600+ gallons actual volume. It will be a FOWLR with primarily marine angels, I'm thinking Emperor, Asfur, Chrysurus, Personifer, Queen and Annularis for the angels. I will add them as juveniles or young adults and let them grow together. I would also like to have a Huma Huma trigger, a Panther Grouper and a Harlequin Tusk Wrasse in the mix. I'm hoping this will be realistic but being self employeed in this economy has not put me any closer lately.
very minimum of three 200g tanks: a planted discus tank, african cichlid, schooling community tank with like 10-15 schools of 10-25 fish. I have a 100g SA/CA tank so that might become the comm tank and have 200g SA cichlid tank instead...
once all that was setup i would want a 500g marine tank

For now my goal is a 75 gallon rainbow tank, moderately planted (its the biggest my dad will let me get :silly
. I saw a youtube video of a 200-ish gallon rainbow tank and it was amazing! A 125 gallon tank with a large school of small fish would also be very fun to watch.
So many choices!
