3m (10ft ish) x 1m x 1m, going to try and get that internal dimensions of the tank, otherwise it will be about 2700l if that's the external given the displacment for the sides themselves
Will be along the wall in the front room or garage depending on the house we get

that would be one nice and expensive tank!
Been looking at 10x2x2 for when I move out the apartment and into a house sometime next year, the 2ft height keeps the price right down as any larger and the glass needs to be alot thicker.

The tank is coming to £4,900 delivered and is acrylic. Total cost of the build so far is coming in at about 9k and that includes a 1000w generator to run the pumps in the event of a power cut, might possibly drop the height down to 3ft.

that will look awesome.
I fancy the idea of a biggish tank (nowhere near as big as what you are planning ) but with something like Frontosa's in it.
edit - when I have a house of my own

The 450 I've got now will be a split level tank with the Ram's in, about 1-1.5ft of water, will have the back pult up with land plants on the top with the water returning from the filter over a waterfall
Kinda like this but deeper water
