sometimes i see fish online or at the lfs and i think "man i wish i could have that fish !!! , but i cant " ! ugh.

So for a minute lets pretend we have an infinite size tank and can keep whatever fish you want. Regardless of fish size, being reef safe, cost, agreesiveness between fish, or ease of being kept in captivity.

And put up your pretend fish list of what you would really want in your pretend tank :)

mine is pretty simple being im a college student who moves between school and home alot im really really limited in what i can keep. I have a 10 gallon right now with sps lps and zoas. Ideally id have a large rimless cube with front and sides starfire glass with a rear overflow into a large sump with a nice protein skimmer, ca reactor and other filter media. The display would be dream scaped by a pro haha with all sorts of sps on the rocks with lps on the sand and high end zoas all over the rocks. For fish id want a flasher wrasse of some sort maybe a tang and some nice looking clowns. Maybe a diamond goby and a pygmy angel that doesnt nip at anything. Lighting would be the ati powermodule with a really sweet bulb setup that maximized color. It would also be plumbed into a rimless frag tank that is displayed next to the main display :D
