Build My Dream Tank !!!

[nano reefer]

Here was an interesting idea i thought of...
I was wondering what everyone would put in a 1,000 gallon reef tank. This means: fish, coral, inverts, lighting, filtration, and anything else that may go into a 1,000 gallon display tank. For any living organism explain why you would put it in. All inhabitants must be reef safe. Try and think of rare species as well (i.e. Magnificent Foxface) For filtration please give specs, brand, and why. There is no price Limit!!!
I'll start off with 1500 lbs of Live Rock and a 10 inch sand bed.

do you know how much it would cost for a ten inch sand bed?

 

[zeroc]

are we talking hypothetical or are you really making a 1000 gallon reef tank?

 

[nano reefer]

Did you read it? I said no price limit. And i am not setting up a 1,000 DT anytime soon,i am just curious on what people would put in

 

[regina13]

well, to make it plain and simple I would have tangs, angels, and more tangs and angels, and maby a trigger or two.
I would also add lots more liverock. and only have a 5in sandbed b/c 10 is to much.

the only problem is some are not reef safe....

a turtle!

c'mon people! I want the 10 inch sandbed to put in those cool eel things... the burrow in the sand and they stick their heads out. And remember this is a 1000 gallon tank...

A nice big Magnificent anemone with 6 true perculas. Because magnificents are awesome and i love the color pattern on true perculas.

 

[nano reefer]

How about some fire and ice zoos, some radioactive zoos, and rainbow zoos because IMO those are the best zoos out there. And a superman monti because the color is just awesome!

 

[nano reefer]

Some Aussie acans, maybe the orange and purple ones because those are the best acans.
Any technical people that could hook me up with a sick filtration system?

 

[nano reefer]

how about a nice 8 inch queen angelfish?

Last picture is too big but very pretty fish.

[nano reefer]

sweet.. maybe he would be a little big though and eat the other fishes but i would love to have on of those.

 

[bhfccsr198]

i would put a a school of gem tang and a bunch of different leather coralss

 

[frankthetank]

500 turbo snails!!

 

[nano reefer]

gem tangs would be cool.

 

[mcbdz]

I would add some of all the tangs and get a lighting system that does all the phases of the year and then moon lights that do the phases. Maybe you could get lucky with the tangs spawning.

 

[grubsnaek]

no triggers, your gonna have to have inverts, snails, hermits, shrimp. angels are touchy cause they can eat coral. but a tank this big, money not an option.
BLACK TANG.

I wouldn't do a reef tank instead get some cortez or round rays, maybe a yellow, and a pair of horn sharks and an eppie. Also some kind of eel(hawiian dragon if there is no price limit) an emperor snapper, some kind of grouper, and three blue lined snappers. Also I'd get some black sand for substrate for the tank.
