If you read various other forums, there are people out there making some quite massive aquariums in their houses (and sheds).
For example:
This 20 foot marine aquarium, 5,500 litre
UltimateReef.com - View Single Post - OMC: 20ft long x 2ft wide x 4ft high And 7ft x 7ft x 4ft Triton
or this 1,200 gallon
Dave's 1,200 gallon double reef drop off - UltimateReef.com
or even this 50,000 gallon (OK in the US, land is cheaper etc etc).
Building My 50,000 Gallon Monster Mega Tank
Why don't we not seeing massive planted tanks on this forum ?
Around 500 litre (Juwel 450) odd seems about the most common maximum on this forum ?
Is it because maintenance of a huge tank would become a full time job ?
Can't be water change issues as some of the marine tanks change 100's litres of RO water a day !!!!
Getting x10 filter flow and enough CO2 in the water becomes a major plumbing problem ?
Plant layout in a big tank will be an issue, tweaking plants will be hard in a deep tank.
Would need a tree as suitable aquarium wood ?
Any thoughts, I am awaiting to be corrected ?
