I am setting up two side by side 245 gallon tanks to look like one 12 ft long tank. I was initially going to put large predators like rays, bass, etc with a constant water change system. Recent crash after my return from vacation has changed my plans. It is simply too hard to maintain messy predators in my water( high pH, low dKH, and high dissolved gases so no water change greater than 30% possible).
I would like the two tanks to look like one large system so decor needs to be consistent. They need to be pristine display systems, wife's requirement. Here are my ideas, feel free to add your own.
Option 1
Two African cichlid systems, biotopes for Lake Tanganyika and Malawi or just on large Tanganyika system with two separate blue type front colonies with cyps, shellies, calvus, etc.
Option 2
low tech planted tanks. One with schools of tetras, discus, hatchets, etc. Other with rainbows and barbs. Similar plantings just two types of communities.
Option 3
Marine fowler systems, one heavy on live rock with community, other with predators, small groupers, bamboo cat sharks, other predators and large tangs.
Option 4
