Get the biggest tank you can fit and afford. What dimensions can you accommodate?

I am going to put my new tank in my basement. So there will be plenty of space. I am thinking of a 90gal.
Depends on what you're going to put in there. Some fish like a long tank so they have room to swim, while for reef/aquascaping more width is more better.
Unless you plan on some type of carbon dosing, or frequent water changes, a large sump at least half the size of the display is a good thing. Bigger is better.
RR is better and safer than an overflow box, but not as good as the new ghost type, like "reef synergy", "coast to coast" or others, which use bean animal type plumbing. Fail safe, dead silent, and takes up way less room in the display. Not to mention less bubbles make their way to the sump, making protein skimmers more predictable, less salt creep, less evaporation, etc.
A well planned tank and sump makes all the difference between a tank that is enjoyed, and one that constantly needs attention.

Is 48" your Max footprint? Can go with 150high. Taller than 90g but you'd have to consider what lighting you would use if going with a reef. I agree with the above go with the biggest tank you can. Gives more options for you to change things up as you go. I've never heard anyone complain they have too much space. RR is nice feature to have for variety of reasons as stated above
If you have little more room bunch of 180's in the marketplace. Nice sized tank

No. I don't have limit on the tank size. I can have a 6' long no problem. I also saw that tank. Nice one. But I want a package deal like including tank stand sump lights rock/sand or other plus equipments. Livestocks I can buy new. Or I don't mind taking them with the sales. Thank you anyways for your reply.

The Stand would be included also. The stand was from a 68 gallon.
