What would you do with a 2000 gallon aquarium

[FrightyDog]

Assume that you have all the necessary equipment for what you need (special lights for coral, compatibility because introduced simultaneously (tangs, gobies , etc), coepepod community established etc) and even had those devices that tell you all your parameters at all times.
I would have a deep sand bed for any eels (garden or wolf) or Jawfish I would want in a small area on one side. I would get a shoal of anthias . Some flasher wrasse group with a male and a harem of females. Clownfish (duh) probably ocellaris . Get some firefish maybe. But my main thing would be tangs. And lots of them. Purple, sailfin , yellow, brown because in that big a space they will be fine.

Go bankrupt from the upkeep

Drown from the cost to maintain it

 

[Gregcoyote]

You can have different regions in a tank that size. Certainly tangs would not be a problem other than aggression.

The cost of maintenance would not be trivial.

To seriously answer this assuming money was not an issue here, I would do a black tip reef shark tank. Should be able to keep it for up to 5 years or so in a tank that size. Maybe a little longer.

It would be interesting to see if tangs would actually 'school' up like they do in the wild in a tank this size.

One celestial pearl danio.

?


Seriously, it would be a monster fish tank. Is it still too small for an arapaima?

I would go and buy (rescue) the two lanceolatus groupers that are in tiny (~20 gallon) tanks at a lfs, grow them as big as possible, then go kidnap the lfs store owner and feed him to them.

It sounds like my neighbours pool except it is already stocked with wildlife we can't identify...

Mostly corals....10 assorted fish or so, and then I would let everyone in the area know where to take their fish that have outgrown their 6' tanks.
