A 300 gallon built-in that I'm currently trying to incorporate into the plans for the new house. A fully planted Amazon tank with Discus, Rams, etc.

Your ideal future tank?

A 300 gallon tank.
5 sword tails, 4 angles, 9 cory's, 2 bush nose pleco's, 13 flame tetra's, 13 blue tetra's and a whole lot of plants. I would have to really see it to see how much more I could stock. I plan on having this within 5 years.
Another 300 gallon tank. 2 Oscars, 2 pearl cichlids, and 1 large pleco. This will be in 7 years.
Divorce papers :laugh: .... I wasn't into fish when I met my wife. She isn't thrilled. She is afraid of being "the weird people with all of the fish."

An island near the equator. I would go out in my small boat and throw fish food out and stare at all the fishies. Also, I could go scuba diving but my fat *** wouldn't look right in those suits. Eventually, all the small fish that I attracted will bring a shark. The shark would tip the boat then I'd fall out. Oh no the shark brought friends and they take both my legs. I manage to swim to shore but I die a long and painful death. That's how I saved the U.S. from Osama Bin Laden Googoogachoo. :shark: :joe: :duh:
Ugh- money sucks. Always has and always will. My immediate future plan is to get a nice 29 or 306 tank for my baby Parrot. He's small at 3.5" in a 10g right now but by Christmas he WILL be in a much larger tank. They grow slowly so by the time it gets done he will be fine. I take care of him like I would a jewel. 
Again money sucks. I'd house all my Bettas in 100g tanks if I could.

dream tank
My dream tank is in the wall of my dream home (hope to start building in the next few years). The tank would be about 5 feet tall (knee height to just over most people's heads) and 15 feet across (I expect the wall to be about 25' long allowing for a few feet on each side of the doorway).
As for depth, I'm not quite sure. As it will be a reef tank, I expect I'd want it at least three feet deep. This would bring the total volume to around 225 cubic feet or 1683 gallons.
The tour begins in the main entryway which has a tile area just inside the door for taking off shoes and hanging coats. Beyond the tile is lush carpet with a sitting area and a view out the back into the enclosed patio and pool.
The aquarium is in the wall on your right and stretches from one end to the door way on the other.
As you walk through the doorway on one end of the wall you see a four foot long hallway with a "closet" door on the aquarium side. This is to access the inner workings of the reef system.
Note: Both ends of the hallway have pocket doors which slide closed for both privacy and noise.
On the other side of the short hallway you step into a formal dining room.

Wench Boots!
My hubby has already started talking about building a bigger tank...something in the 20,000 gallon range...but to do this, we need to excavate and add on to our house....I'm waiting on the lottery, to to discover I was the favorite long-lost niece of that rich uncle....
just proves that bigger is never enough.....
