Building a new tank

[happymidgetpaul]

Dimensions will either be 54" wide x 75" long x 36" tall, or 76" wide x 80" long x 36" tall. Are there any other cheaper ways to go about building a tank of that size, or is something like this : http://www.jonolavsakvarium.com/eng_diy/2200litre/2200litres.html the only way to go?
Also, what fish would you recommend putting in something like that? Also, is there anything else I should put in it other than the crapload of driftwood and rocks I have? And what size filter would you guys recommend making or buying?

Thanks!

Oh and I'd really like to see some peoples tanks, especially DIY tanks and large predatory fish set-ups

Hopefully, after Sept 3rd (contract) I'm going to get started on a tank thats 10ft x 5ft x 5ft. I want to do salt water. Never done salt water before. Never built a tank myself before. . . . . Sometimes I wonder about my own sanity ! !

Um, have you read anything on this site prior to posting? The tank you quoted from another site is referenced here many times, there are also many other plywood epoxy, plywood fiberglass, and concrete tanks as well.
