Poll: best reef tank size

[Anonymous]

I have a 15 and a 7. So a 25 would be just a little bigger, eh? My first reef 'tank' was (is) an old 100 gal. 6'x22"x18". Too bad the guy before me used so much COPPER!!!! GRRRR ARRRRHHGGGG..... (only a little pissed. Makes a great goldfish pond though...

of all the other sizes I have seen, I still like the 5' i think a 125? or maybe just 120.

It's just pipe dreams for me anyhow.

I am with Louey, get the size you can manage. With that said, I'd love either 135 or 150 Oceanic. I guess I will have to wait a little longer.

I don't like 5 foot tanks as it seems not much is made for them. You can get bulbs & hoods for 4' or 6' but stuff for 5' seems hard to find.

my ideal tank would be about a 200 cube tank. I love cube tanks because of all the unique ways you can aquascape them, I hate the wall look. one 1,000 watter over it and a sump in my basement and it would be a perfect sps tank, im drooling already

Get the biggest one that will fit your house and wallet. :wink:

As big as you can afford without straining your wallet. IMO if you become a slave to maintance = time and $$ it's no fun. My puny 120g gave me the extra cost to buy my spa and maintain that 500g bill and take a nice vaca every year. I figured running a kicka$$ 500g would be @ the same but I would loose the rest. I would get the widest tank you can afford.JMO
