The perfect tank ?

[jbaker]

I'm in the middle of setting up my 110 gallon FOWLR tank and it got me thinking. It's leak test day and my nerves are on end. What is everyones idea of the perfect tank setup? Size, livestock, sump, refugium, location? Just curious and thought it might be fun to see new ideas.

But in reality, anything larger than a 120 gallon would be idea. for me. We have a 180 gallon sps dominated tank now with all of the "bells and whistles" one could ask for and if it wasn't for the damn bryopsis, I'd be 100% happy with keeping only that one tank.

I left Long Island (Farmingdale) about the same time you did but the area around the aquarium is really nice and touristy nowadays

To answer your question:

Within reason:
90-120 gallon tank

Outside of budget:
200-500 gallon tank

Whatto put in it? Well coral for sure and a mix of reefsafe fish and inverts.
