How big do you need ? just a little more than what you got. Run away now while you still have a chance.....

I think something around 3-400 gallons would look nice!

It all depends on how must time and money U want to throw at it.

If U are planning on doing the work on the system yourself,look at your physican limits, whats your reach, how much time do U have to work on the system while it is being established....

How big is your room? Is this the home U plan on being in for some time,...

This is planning ahead a bit. I need to get out of residency first. :-) I sometimes dream and plan ahead to keep my motivation up. I was thinking 84x36x30... With Sfigoloi XR4 with 400w x3 and T5.
