Listed This Before, And I Love The Answers

I would do a planted tank with at least discus, corrys, neon tetra, shrimps, and plecos, and probably a few other things.
 
Nobody's gone for predators!

I think a flooded forest biotope with large arowana would look good
 
I'd have to fill it with tons of bogwood, some cobbles and a few hardy plants.
Fish wise, it'd have to be a Plec tank with a big shoal of Pentazona barbs.
 
Planted, lit by a sky light, 3 big 250W halides for extra light if light is blocked by clouds, and a couple of blue T8's for some night viewing.

Pond soil as substrate. Water lillies. Only a few other species like Egria densa in big clumps covering most of the tank, a couple of isolated patches of Hygrophila stricta as well as one 4-5' bit of bogwood covered in Java fern. A couple of pond filters with just mechanical and biological filtration, and heaters in them. Would auto dose EI using dosing pumps and automatic 40-60% water change system weekly.

Basically an idealised pond type 'scape' (if you can call it that).

Stocking would initially consist of maybe putting loads of cherry shrimp (or maybe, since money is no issue, CRS), corys (it's hard to have a tank without corys lol), loads of neons and zebra danios and some slightly bigger fish like synos as well as some big plecs.

Then after a few months to a year once everything is decently grown, fish/shrimp have started breeding in and there's loads of hiding places, since money is no issue, I'd look for a decent sized and very nice looking super red aro.
 
sod the maintinence and running costs this is after all a money no object deal it would have to be a huuuuuuuge coral reef
 
Heres the ideal world, you come home and someone has bought you a new tropical tank with stand. :good:

With it is a blank cheque :good: , you can spend as much money on your tank as you want (NO houses, cars, boats clothes, shoes, you get the picture) ONLY items for your tank, you know the stuff, substrate, heater, filter, plants, ornaments and Fish.

Heres your new new tank:-

9 foot (274.5cm/ 108inches) x 3 foot (36 inches/ 91.5cm) x 3 foot(36inches/ 91.5 cm), approx,

Approx 2296 litres, 505 UK gallons, 606 US gallons.

What you gonna do with it (you are NOT allowed to sell it)?

Have fun filling it boys and girls,

Mark.

I'd make it fully planted tank, with C02 injection, dose daily with plant food and have a special plant substrate capped with white sand. Also some bogwood and plants would be java fern, java moss, crypts, vallis and more!

I'd stock with loads of angels, gouramis, mollies, platies and cories and bristlenoses for the bottom.

Once I'd gotten over the shock, I'd get a huge plec. One of those really big two or three foot long ones! And the coolest thing would be getting huge schools of fish...like maybe 100 albino tiger barbs or 200 neon tetras (that would look awesome). Oh, most importantly, I'd use the cheque to build a pipline from the aquarium to the bathtub and an automated water changing system. Just imagine having a robot which automatically does 20 percent water changes every day. *swones*
 
1. over 20 Columbian sharks. !
2. over 20 Bala sharks. ;)
3. A huge shoal of clown loaches.
4. Turtle paradise, anyone? (MUSKS!)
5. One neon tetra, think that's enough for now ):
6. Arowana possibly? :)
7. See how many children can fit inside of it. o_O;
