avrage people think 10 gallons are not small... at my school i told this kid that that tank was sooooooooo small and they streched tere arms to about 16 inches and said it was not small... LOL, share your stories about people thinking little tank are huge like at my shcool the aquarium club set up a 55 gallon and one of the kids said it was HUGE... small tanks on MFK are avrage or big to the avrage pearson or aquarist...
 
People think im psycho for building a 300 gallon tank for a 10" fish....its an Umbee

people 55s ( well 40 long and 55 ) are huge..... i tell them its small compared to what i want and compared to what some of my fish get full grown.........
 
I was blown away with how big my 210 was after I first set it up. Now it's like a goldfish bowl to me. When people come over for the first time and see it they're like holy hell that's a big tank. I wish I could line the walls with huge sheets of acrylic from floor to ceiling and have my whole house surrounded by fish. Not joking.
 
Once you get a big tank it will seem small. I thought my 180 was huuuge. Now it seems extremely small.
 
Its all about perception... Us on MFK have seen the possibilities and therefore dont think tanks in the 200G rang might be big anymore...

I think now a days unless i see a person with a 500G+ tank, i'd just think of it as an average sized large but not huge tank..

I always here at lfs other people get asked how big is your fish tank and they always say "huuuge" and hold out there arms to like 29 gallon size lol
The best part is not tank but fish. We have people come here and see our
Moray eel grow out tank in the living room an go "omg those eels are huuge" (12-15" and 1/2" thick) and we say wait...come this way, and show them the 2 footers and 3" thick monsters in another room ;) then theyre really impressed lol
