Hey!
My sisters soon-to-be-husband is an Aeronautical engineer. He works for Bowing up in Seattle, WA. Only he works on the engines, not wings...he likes it though, says it's a fun job...he doesn't make enough to buy an ocean for his house though?

LOL i dunno how i landed this job but i was working for LockHeed Martin when i was living in Colorado and then the government offered me this job which pays ALOT more the only catch was i had to move out to Nevada so i said screw it and did lol. But yeah i enjoy my job alot even though most of the time its high stress to meet the deadlines and such and then the test flights to see if the thing that tax payers just spent a few billion dollars developing even remotley works lmao. it sounds like your sisters husband is more on the passenger side rather than the military side...not sure if it makes a difference in pay or not. Anyways coach klm what do you mean u r medically retired in montana???According to your profile u r only 26??? Anyways ill check to see if they know anyone in Montana for u. Also the final tank specs are 75 Feet long, 50 Feet wide and 13.5 Feet tall

batray
large angels
unicorn tangs
naso tangs
panther groupers
red louti groupers

Anyone else have any other ideas for big fish that i missed?

How about a Queensland grouper for a bigass fish? Or stellatus puffers, maybe some Titan triggers. I know they nip the eyes out of more "home aquarium-suited" sharks, but I have no idea about the big guys you're planning. They might terrorize the wobbies though (if they don't get eaten for trying). Like I've said before I'm not too well-versed in home-aquaria, but I know that all hammerheads school in HUGE schools so you might want to drop the Great hammerheads. They also migrate (it's still kind of unknown where they go) and I'm not sure if this would be negated by having the tank temp the exact same all year 'round, but could be stressful. Also, Scalloped hammerheads LOVE to eat stingrays. IMO Leopard sharks are gorgeous and would be a terrific addition.

A leapord would be beautiful but they live in subtropic waters they are a coldwater shark68-72degrees while the hammers were talking about live close to the equator so they are 80degrees or so. triggers and puffers cant be housed with sharks they have a tendency to nip the eyes out

Madman,
You can't have any angels, triggers, or puffers because they will nip at the sharks.
