Being that I have a 150 gallon, I think 150 or larger.

I have heard folks say anything 100G and up, or anything bigger than 4 ft in length, I dunno if there is a true definition from anyone...

"Other" places have defined them as 180g or more, which sounds very reasonable actually.

It's just hard to make that call , when you get up to 150 or 180 , Then why not just round it out to 200 gallons. Heck why not make a poll Tom and get some opinions from members. What they think is a large tank, or a large system.

I think any tank bigger then my tanks are big. I always want bigger.
