I have been keeping fish for over 20 years, and browsed this site since 09, but am just now getting around to creating an account, mostly b/c of my first truly huge tank I am picking up tomorrow. I currently have a 125 w/ a shoal of 6 rpb the size of my hand, it has housed native panfish in the past as well as a 55 with mumba. I have just bouht a 84*31*24 I will be picking up tomorrow with an fx5 full of media, 2 pieces of driftwood, lights, and glass top for $1200 which I feel is a pretty good deal for the area. I am currently torn between a SA or another monster native setup. What would you do and how would you stock it. I am also wanting to be realistic, and don't have an unlimited amount of money to buy super rare fish like expensive rays or tigrenus catfish at the moment.
