Looking to do an amazon based 500 gallon can't decide what to put in it. Getting the glass at lunch today. Going in my basment, plywood and glass.
 
7.5' length might be a bit short for a SA arowana in the long run. I'd go with cichlids like earth-eaters, uaru, hoplarchus, severum, mesonauta, etc a bunch of nice plecs, and perhaps some other bottom dwellers like pictus cats. Could also add something like chalceus, or pherhaps silver dollars though I've found they usually will nip the cichlids fins.

Perfect!
 
Or, if you want a different option, add plenty of driftwood, a large group of wild-type angels, massive school of tetras, massive school of corydoras, pairs of apistogramma and other dwarf cichlids, pencilfish, smaller plecs, maybe even a group of hatchetfish at the top. Peoples instinct is to put big fish in big tanks, but large numbers of little fish can be every bit as interesting and appealing IMO.

Nailed it! How awesome would it be to come home from work & de-stress in front of this tank? Like watching FishTV.
