For me the max size for planted is 4ft cos i've always had issues with my 3ft planted for both low and high tech. Having a bigger tank for planted means more problems or disappointments for me if the issues of my 3ft is anything to go by.

Actually, the bigger planted tanks are more stable. As larger volume of water gives you bigger margins for error when it comes to fertiliser dosing.

Amazing, this thread is actually 5 years old!
Anybody got their dream tank?

I think it's more like dream tanksss if space permits. I believe alot of us start off the hobby having a small tank which later progress to bigger and bigger and bigger. Either that or start off with 1 tank which leads to 2 and 3 and 4 and .......

For me it'll be a few 5ft or bigger tanks for different biotopes or species of fishes.

My dream tank is 6ft. And i will maintain it everyday!

My dream tank is not about the size. It's the tank with the one trophy sitting on it.

[eric2010]

My aim is to have a 10ft by 3 ft by 3 ft fish tank along my corridor.

[Rokerites]

I will settle for a 4' tank. To me that's just the right size to view and manage.

[polyho]

As big as possible so long I don't have to maintain. Else 5 is good if laden weight of flat permit.

[takaco]

unlimited as big as you can go

[Binks]

After a 12 year break (my last one was a 5 foot planted), planning to set up a 5X2X2 or a 6X3X2 soon.With costs in mind, I'm looking at 'preowned' tanks at the moment.

Agree with you.
As with a garden, space in aqua-garden is always at a premium.

That's a realistic viewpoint really, because the Amazon river is everyone's to enjoy. And above all, it is literally maintenance-free too! That's the ideal 'tank' too I think.

But idealism aside, for a home tank, the most important consideration should be time available for maintenance of a tank or tanks. Since interest can wear off in time if too much time is required for up keeping, it would be good to have a tank size which fits in nicely with our daily routine without it being too taxing on our time. Only in this way can one enjoy fish-keeping on a long-term basis. Lack of time for maintenance is the main reason why many stop the hobby.

For me, the best tank size is 2ft -3ft, with strict underdstocking to minimise routine maintenance. 🐡🐟🐋🐋🐟🐡🐢🐬🐡🐚🌱
