If time and money was not a concern (but space still is) what would your Ideal tank look like and what would it have in it not counting livestock?
I myself am pretty happy with my set up and would only change a few things.
For instance my tank has had every type of lighting there is and now it has MH but I would like to install LEDs, I just need the time to build the fixture.
I would also like to raise my entire rockwork off the bottom and only have it touching in 3 or 4 places. It is close to that now but not quite.
I am thinking of building a "rock" like the one in the picture but make it like a sort of cage that would cover most of the tank with 3 or 4 pieces going into the gravel. The entire structure will rest on this so that you would be able tio see under the structure all the way to the back, which would be dark.
That is my plan, whats yours?
(this rock like many of my rocks is hollow PVC covered in cement, this is during construction and after a few years in the tank)

Hmm...I always wanted a room big enough to set up a tank just like the shorline of a beach. Sand at one end above the water level and then the tank just slopes down from zero entry level to about a 24 inch deep tank. Your crabs etc can come out of the water to walk around on the sand then hop in the water when they are ready. Also have a wave maker setup to simulate waves coming on the shore. My own little beach!! :D
 
Yes, we all would. Thats why I said, if space were still the same.
Now I am going to go back to thinking about that tank on a beach :D

Ever been to Seaworld? Picture Shamoo's tank....what's that around 50000 gallons or so....yeah....of course that violates the whole "space" stipulation
