Keep it fresh.

Your stock looked fine, except I wouldn't put an aro in that tank. 18 inches wide at the edge does not give a 36 inch fish much room to turn around. I would replace the aro with a couple more Pbass anyways. 2 would just look wierd to me. I would put 5 Pbass in there and no aro. Use a big ol sump for filtration and maybe an FX5 for backup. Good luck!

still think a ray would be good in there, its 33" wide in the center

I think the Ray would hate life in there. Most are very active and even a Tea-Cup would want to get sold around 8-9". JMO

I would go with some Piranhas, Planted Discus/Clown Loach set up, Shoal of Red Wolfs and maybe Pike Odoes, Bichir City (Dels and Sens), Exodon Galore, Red Tail Payara to compliment some Catfish or Puffer Fish

Do post some pics when you start to set'er up... Filters, stand lights etc...

To me, that tank is BEGGING for Discus. Great dimensions for them. A school of wilds from Snook and some light planting would be amazing.

I like discus but I have 90 for some of those. Id hate to use a killer tank for something like that. I MUST have some tank busters in there lol. I like the piranha idea as well as the red wolves.
the Red Tail Payara is a top water fish right? I could put that in there with the wolves and maybe a larger cat.

I have a bow front there amazing but my mate has one to for salt water which looks more nicer

That tank is good for neither sharks nor rays.

But with the narrow shape you're kind of limited in the monster department. That's why I said Discus... they don't need all that much width.

They'd be more than happy in a 90, of course... and filling a 90 is much cheaper than filling a 300 with fish that can cost hundreds each...

Don't know if you set ur 300 bow front yet, but I would definitely go DISCUS!!!! Lots of plants and maybe some neons and Corys ( all from same region) Please post pics when ur done. GL.
