A tank that size is wasted on marines and the likes...............so give it to the little guys instead.

I think we always think "Big tank? Big fish!". A big shoal of something would look amazing.

For myself I could only envisage one scenario in a tank that large (assuming money was no object) and that would have to be an Amazonian -type of biotope with some brightly-and some dimly-lit areas with the predominant species being a large(ish) shoal of Altums - sheer bliss.

The mind boggles!
