I wont do the ecosystem, rather thinking of a few predators like datnoids and kelberi with school of geophagus surinamensis and bandit eartheater

Yeah, you could do something like that. Maybe you could stick with a regional tank? Like these:
SA/Central America: Silver arowanas, Black Ghost Knives, Peacock Bass, other cichlids, etc.
Asian: datnoids, clown knives, giant gouramis, etc.
African: African Knives, Elephant Nose fish, Bichirs, African Lungfish, Syno catfish, etc.
I wouldn't recommend some of these in the same tank altogether, but most of these can work with each other (especially the American and Asian options).
Remember to understock instead of overstock. Overstocking rarely goes well.

Silver arowanas will get too big for long term housing in a 300 gallon
thanks for the ideas
You can keep Silver arowanas in 300 gallons; they need a minimum tank of 250 gallons for full-grown adults. If you have 300, you have space for one arowana and other fish. Maybe stingrays and arowanas? It's always a winning setup.
If you are worried about keeping a Silver Arowana in a 300-gallon, you could go for a Jardini. Jardini Arowanas grow to about 2 feet long in captivity, so you may be able to have two. I don't know of any Australian fish appropriate to put with a Jardini. I'm thinking Rainbow fish, but long term, they will be expensive snacks.
Jardinis cannot be kept with other fish once mature

I highly doubt it if both fish are sizable. Unless the Jardini is full grown and the other fish are babies, a Jardini couldn't eat a larger Oscar or Peacock bass. Now, it may harass them but not eat them.
Here is a thread on Jardinis.
Tankmates with JARDINI (READ!!!)
I will have To agree with you. In my experience with jardini arowanas I have come across mostly aggressive specimens that in the end have to be kept alone. I have delt with about 12 Jardinis in my fish keeping ventures and I have only seen 2 that co-exist with other fish. The rest were very...

jardini wont necessarily eat them, just kill them
i heard they can kill royal plecos
