What would your dream tank be?  How many gallons?  Dimensions?  What would you stock it with?

I like what this dude has http://www.practicalfishkeeping.co.uk/pfk/pages/show_article.php?article_id=586

I would love something in the 7 foot range 500+ gallons with lots of flow and 25+ clown loaches as the main inhabitants.

I like clown loaches as well and I'd love to build an asian rivertank/terrarium combo.  The tank itself maybe in the 10'x3'x3' size range and the feature fish would be a large school of clown loaches  as well as a school of either tinfoil barbs or bala sharks.  Surrounding the tank I will have a jungle-like garden which would include a rock waterfall into one end of the tank.  It's not going to happen in my current house, but maybe my next one.  One can dream anyway.

That sound cool.  A 10 foot tank would be cool over 700 gallons!!!

One of those coral reef tanks like the Metro Zoo displays with a surge tank to handle the wave action. About 6'x4'x4'. The sides and back would be faced with liverock bonded to the firberglass panels and the front would probably have to be 1" thick acrylic.  An Octopus would be fun along with a few squirrel fish and an Emperor Angel.

I remember about a year ago the Big Al's in Montreal had a small octopus for sale.  From what I understand they can be very interesting to keep though a very strong lid is needed as they tend to go for walks and are so smart they can get many tops open.
