    If you had a 1275 gallon tank...(101 x 54 x 54)..what would you put in it? Inside your house options...and outside your house options?

    Retro-fitted into a custom home. Then fill it with an assortment of Tanganyikan species, primarily Tropheus and Petrochromis.

                    WOW. That is awesome. I would either do trophs and petros or just a large predator tank. Probably would get expensive to feed a bunch of predators as much as they would require though....

                    Very sweet though. Can't wait for pics.

                          WOW is right!!

                          I would definitely do a biotope. Either South American or Rift Lake. That way you could really be true to the fishes found in that particular habitat, and stock both large AND small.

                          You know, I actually first thought "Tropheus!" Which is kinda funny, since Geoff said "planted tank." OMG, what's happening to us?!?! Lol...

                              It could be a SouthEast Asian exhibit. You could put a panda in there
