Default Inspiration For Large Tank...

Lookin for some ideas from the creative collective we have here.... So the plans are to build a steel framed tank with poly-vinyl interior and a single glass or acrylic front window. Rough dimensions are 120"Lx32"Dx36"H, considering 48"H... Filtration will be well taken care of. Trying to figure out what to put in it??? Ideas so far...

Vampire Tetra School http://www.thejump.net/id/payara.htm
Assorted Stingrays

Assorted Arrowanas(not silver or black)
Assorted Stingrays

Any other ideas would be appreciated, no bread and butter fish.... something interesting!
Cheers!

I'm all about the freshwater now, after 15 years of reef tanks no more saltwater for me.

I just spent the whole weekend working on my dual 220 gallon system.

I'd go with the Arowana's if I were you. I'd love to get a couple for my new system, but, I'd be afraid of my turtles making an expensive snack out of them.

I miss my old tank setup with vampire tetras, but yeah, Im leaning heavily towards an asian arowana setup...and I could use the "luck". I know they are comonly kept singularly but that would bore me and the tank will be roomy....at either 600 or 800 gallons. Probably go with 6 of them and unload 3 of them as they reach a respectable size,(or just keep em all, time will tell).(Im sure some business man wanting a pick me up would be happy to take them off my hands) goin with arowanas will tempt me to make the tank deeper(I can always take the sliding glass doors out to move a 40"-48" deep tank into place, that would bring her up to 1000+gallons.)
