+1...exactly what I was thinking. That being said, it would also make a great reef tank.
Kevin...you dont think (stocking list depending) that you could get away with a high quality 400w pendant? I think you probably could. You might have to hang it high, but it would be good for softies and low light sps...theres always room to grow.
I knew someone (or several someones) would say coral propagation, but since I'm just getting into saltwater soon, I don't think that'll be what I'll use it for. I want the tank to end up being the centerpiece of a room (think coffee table type setup).
Like I said, I thought about a small species of shark, or stingrays (whether salt or fresh), but I think I'd rather go with a peaceful reef community. Lots of smaller, colorful schooling fish, a few larger loners, a few oddballs, and lots of goby/blenny type fish.
I'm likely to at least start with very easy to keep, hardy corals that don't require extremely high levels of light. I'll probably hold off on adding any corals until the tank has become established and I'm ready to dive into corals.

Well a 400w you could probably get away with except the more demanding corals... though remember there are softies that require high light quanitites to thrive lol. Generaly speaking one MH pendant is used to illuminate 2'x2' but now that I think about it, it is a rather shallow tank, so a 400w would probably be ok... though the "high" light corals would need to be towards the centre.
