    How about this one:

    Steinhart Aquarium in SF just reopened at its old location after 4 years of renovation. They now have a 212,000 gallon (yes 212,000-not a typo) reef aquarium. It is 25 ft deep and has the most incredible clams I have ever seen in it. They cycled the tank for an entire year before putting in livestock. That is my ideal tank. Actually I am trying to get hired on there as an aquatic biologist. Wish me luck, please--I need it!

    Gotta admit guys, a mega huge in wall tank I could snorkel in sounds like my kind of tank. I'll take a hot blonde mermaid swimming around inside and a hot blonde in a bikini outside just looking good, she doesn't necessarily have to serve any other purpose. My wife probably wouldn't go for any of it though so I'll stick with my 110.

    To have a realistic "dream tank", I would love to have a home built Floor To Ceiling cube or cylinder. It would probably be around 500-1500 gallons...when thinking realistically on size. Would have equipment and a mega sump down in a basement of my dream home. The tank would be a center piece to a foyer or living room.

    I wish I had something like AutoCAD at the moment, but Microsoft Paint works I guess. For showing what it'd be like.

    My son, the future engineer....sigh. He can build that tank in his future house - maybe he'll let me put a little orca in it - I always wanted one. ;D And a penguin.....except orcas and penguins don't mix too well. I guess he'll have to have TWO tanks.

    You have too many orca fantasies, woman. :D :D :D Find some genetic biochemist or something and have them make you a mini one.
