Did you mean 500,000 gallons? That's more like what 20 x 10 x 10 meters would be...

5000 gals would be a little over 4 x 2 x 2 meters

My dream tank would be one that accommodates all of my fish wishes but doesn't rule my life. Entering data into the dream-tank-calculator results in 407.5 gallons.

My dream tank would just be one I could keep adding to every now and then. Fish, coral, whatever I want, and not worrying about running out of room for a long time.

One I don't have to maintain...

 

[JonezNReef]

A 8 foot by 8 foot by 3 or 4 feet tall cube tank. So some where around 1400 to 1900 gallons. Ive always been a fan of a tank with a lot of depth to it and with a tank with those dimensions you would have 8 feet of depth to look at from any viewing window.

I'd want a pool sized outdoor reef tank / pond which I could snorkle in. One side would be a giant panel which would be view able from my downstairs living room. And yes, I'd have a fulltime maintenance technician.

Dream tank would be a 240 gallon Reef Tank.

Will house my current Fish:

2 blue Throat Triggerfish

2 Pyramid ButterflyFish

1 Fire Clownfish

1 Mandarin Dragonette

I would add:

3 More Pyramid Butterflyfish

1 Purple Tang

1 Regal Tang

1 more Fire Clownfish

1 Ribbon Eel

I feel like this tank would be adequate to add whatever fish I would be interested in presently and the future. Also the biggest tank I could handle that wouldn't be a 2nd job.

 

[Bobbitworm13]

8x3x2 Caribbean biotope with a shallow area on one end that drops off after a 1.5 feet. The shallows would be 6-8 inches deep and have a mix of smaller stomatopods. The deeper area would have some sea grass here and there as well as a few gorgonians. It would be for a yellow stingray
