What if money were no object

A huge olympic sized swimming pool sized tank in the ground in an conservatory (fancy greenhouse).
 
It would have  tropical plants planted on the topside. Big glass wall in the basement to see into pool, and ability to snorkel in it.
It would start out an inch deep and gradually get deeper until it was 15 ft deep or so.  The shallows would have mangroves & other algaes, the moderate depths would have lps & SPS in the deeper parts.
There would be schools of every kind of fish I could get, as well as an incredble filter system & surge, flow system.
I have a wild imagination

 

I'm with Craig on this. That would be a great dream. I have a smaller one that bases off of yours sblomgren. I just redid mt basement and wish I did it differently so that I could have a 10' L by 4' D by 6' T tank on the one wall. I have a 6' tank now so it'd only be 4 foot longer and but the deepth to the wall and the height would be twice what they are now. I'd have it stocked with everything that I could. Still learning corals so I dont really have a list of what all would be in it. Now the only thing with my dream is once I get a big enough bonus at work I'm building the tank!!! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/biggrin.gif

 

this is really wierd cause i tol my wife last night that im buying my first lottary ticket. she said what you gonna do if we win. i said im going to build a huge aquarium that i can snorkal in.

 

I would just move next to the ocean.

 

I like this idea. I'd likely buy a place out in the Caribbean.

 

I like iowa to much.

 

To each his own! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif

 

plus if you have your own then u can choose what you get to look at every day.

 

One can live in the Caribbean AND have their own reef tank. Just saying...

 

In the yard, natral lighting! Go to the ocean for water changes.

 

Although, I've thought of going super big before, keeping something large enough to keep sharks in a reef tank. But as my tastes have changed, I would opt for a 12'x4'x30" tank in a home by the sea out on Cape Cod, and pump in sea water (through a fluidized bed filter/ozone) continuously and cut all the excess equipment out of the system.

 

I want to build a 8'x2'x2' tank in wall in the basement when I go to finish it, hopefully within the next few years! Only thing is Im torn between a reef or fowlr tank because I LOVE my reef tank but the 240long is more prompt for a good fowlr tank being that its got tons of swimming room.... :/

 

I would just buy a house boat with a glass bottom, and sail that ***** up the mississippi when i want to come home. sorry about the language, but needed it to get my point accross

 

Nice, I was thinking sub. But I would fly home, in my jet.

 

If Money wasn't an issue.....
Mine would be like Sea World or Sheds Aquarium....no charge at the door..... I would want to share it.....
