Its easy to spot the people who have never owned a big tank and actually had to pay for the power/water bill when this kinda thread rolls round. ;)

TBH I don't know if I'd ever want an enormous tank (talking 1000g+) unless I was mega rich and could have it set up to be almost maintenance free. My dream aro comm would be half a dozen blacks in a 600g amazon biotope with Uaru fernandezyepezi and some geophagus. I think a 600g would be plenty big enough for the kind of fish I want, and anything much bigger is going to require too much work/money.
