Build My Dream Tank !!!

[ccampbell57]

1000 gallons?? Ok here is what I would do. Black substrate. 500-1000lbs of live rock COVERED in puple and red coraline algea stacked in the middle for an oval track shape. Lots of cool tonga branch coming out of it for nooks and crannies. I would build caves all over the tank for all the fish to play in.
Livestock:
2 24" smoothound sharks (paired) and yes I know the angels will try to pick, but this is a DREAM Tank
1 Goldflake Angel
1 Queen Angel
My Emperor and my Blueface
1 scribbled angel
1 Asfur Angel
1 Personifer Angel
1 Blond Naso Tang (male)
1 Achillies Tang
2 Hippo tangs (one with a yellow belly)
Clown Trigger
Queen Trigger
Blue spotted ray
20 Chromis
10 Various type of Anthias
Mated pair of Snowflake Clowns in a HUGE BRTA (12-15")
Finally!!! A green moray eel (cause I love those things)
If it were really fictional though, I would have 5 corals (show pieces each)
Neon Green and Purple branching Hammer
Tri-Colored Long Torch
Octopi Orange Frogspawn
Huge Giga Clam (green)
Star Polyps to move with the water current
Also: indestructable cleaner crew. Steal covers on them so the triggers couldnt get them

Way to many triggers and eels with a shark. Plus green moray need a lot bigger tank than that considering they get 6ft long.
Smoothounds need a bigger tank too.,

lighting would be a bunch of 250w halides. possible 400w.
skimmers something sick like a huge octopus. but there are better ones.
you could have a 125 for a sump, and a 125 for a fuge. look at cbui2 set up. in a little room this could easily turn into a 1300-1500 gallon system.
just for food of thought a 10" DSB will probably crash at some point.

A Mermaid! But no Merman... I don't want them to reproduce.

 

[mmm33732]

[nano reefer]

[ilovesharks]

buy kinds of groupers and lookdown like fish for something that big would be cool
