To be honest the way that the hobby is going these days is all nano and pico tanks there any many MFK'ers, to be honest id say that 180+ counts as a monster tank.
depends who you ask. my current 150G is a swimming pool to my friends. my old 4ft (70g) is one too but anything over 200g is monster to me. dont see many that size here.
anything over 500 means your clinically insane and you have too much money so send some to me lol.

I didn't mean to offend anyone. That 110gal is a monster to me. But I don't kid myself about being in the same league with jamey0615 or johnptc. I never will be. Don't even want to be.
1000gal is the low end of monster. Especially when you consider guys like JohnPTC doing things normally only seen at professionally operated aquarium museums. I saw a 750 last weekend. It was beautiful. It was enormous! It had a couple sharks in it! But it wasn't a monster. When I think the biggest of the big I think of the National Aquarium in Baltimore, or the VA Beach Aquarium. Saw a real nice aquarium center in New Jersey. 600gal tanks in those places get relegated to a corner in some hallway. They aren't main attractions.
That's the way it should be. We're talking about superstars here. They should be rare. If everyone could do it, it wouldn't be special.
And that's not the poll I had in mind. I was thinking of polling to see what people actually owned. I think you'll find a LOT of people here have tanks in the ?00 size range. That's too common to be the superstar level & dwarfed by some of the real heavy hitters around here.
