If you could have any tank at all regardless of species compatibly, complexity, care level, size, heck you could even mix fresh and salt water if you really wanted too, what would it be?

For example I would want a massive tank complex shaped like a world map when viewed from the top. Each continent would be a different biotope tank from that continent and the ocean would be a massive reef tank!

What flashes of inspiration have hit you over the years? Post them here and we can all feel a little more inspired!

I want three large tanks, perhaps around 200-300 gallons each, built into two walls of my living room so that one wall is fresh, one wall is salt, and the corner where the two meet is brackish. And on the other side of those walls will be a fish room. The fresh and salt would be just high enough in the walls to appear to float over a big wraparound couch, and the brackish corner tank would go up higher than either of them in a upside down t shape in the corner.
 
As stated in a previous thread, it would likely be a 265-gallon native biotope with locally collected rocks, plants, driftwood and stocked with local sunfish, or, if an unattainable goal is allowed, a 1000 gallon native biotope stocked with an assortment of bass, sunfish, perch and bullheads.
 
Oh boy...

I don't know how many gallons this would be but I know it's totally impossible so who cares.

1/3 every central/south American cichlid/rays/cats.
1/3 1,000,000,000,000,000 neon tetras.
1/3 shark tank. Big nasty bull sharks (of coarse I want a white shark but we all know they can't be kept in captivity ;) haha)
And lastly 1/3 (yes...4 1/3's. Because I thought of this late and I don't want 1/4's) bottle nose dolphin tank.

Oh oh oh... And nothing special cause this WILL happen when I decide to finally go salt. A tank with a dogface puffer,snowflake eel, and a pistol shrimp.
