Default Ideas needed....

Raf and I need some help deciding what to do with our 110 gallon "Tall" tank. Its running basically empty now... just with sand and saltwater. The tank used to house our Pinnate batfish which we unfortuneately lost during the move.

Now we dont know what to do with the tank. We have been toying with the idea of a cuttlefish tank but we know how extremely difficult they are to get in canada, and they dont have a very long lifespan. Another idea was a lionfish tank again (we used to have a 55 gallon lionfish tank).

We want something unique and challenging... and something that is a little different from the norm.

Here's a list of our current tanks:

220 gallon FOWLR - puffers, triggers, tangs, wrasses, angels.
90 gallon Reef tank
46 bowfront Seahorse Tank
30 gallon Gorgoian/Deep water tank w/ angler. *in the works*


Any and all ideas welcome!
-Diana + Raf

What about a 110 gallon coral tank?

Fill that up with corals for propagation and use it to pretty up your other tanks as you see fit.

But its a deep tank, which makes it less than ideal for frag propagation.

How about add more sand & crushed coral & then have a school of yellow headed jawfish. You could watch their social behaviour in such a large tank.

That is true.

A 30" tall tank would not be optimal for coral growth unless she plans on using halides.

In this case, try an octopus. (!!!11!!1!) If not, you can always disassemble the tank for more Monopoly playing space.

what about non-photosynthetic corals? Those are often tough, and you could make caves and arches out of the rockwork. Non-photosynthetics are absolutely beautiful too

Maybe an invert tank with a few smaller fish. There's a lot of crazy looking inverts out there that are always on the move and are cool to watch.
