What works I guess 
I'm really attracted to the brown smoothhound, and think I'll be patient and try and get one of these beauties. This species looks like it will both swim more like I wanted, and also be of decent size and work w/ the size of tank I will be building.
Hey Zoodiver. I'm planning to put a 200,000 gallon saltwater tank in my multi-purpose business. Yes. Huge project(well not compared to your famous 600,000 gallon). But anyway. It is freshwater, and I plan to make it look just like one of the great lakes, and flood it with plants and vegetation, and different species. I've developed a list of species (below).
Livingston Cichild
Freshwater Florida Stingray
Shovelnose Cat/ Redtail Cat Hybrid
Redtail Catfish
Longnose Alligator Gar
Silver Arowana
Polypterus Endilcheri
Arapaima Gigas
Peacock Bass
Freshwater Tortoise
Bumblebee Grouper
Jack Dempsey
Tiger Oscar
Granulated Catfish
Bulatmai Barbel
Clown Knife Fish
Anguilla Eel
Fire Eel
Giant Freshwater Puffer
Tire Track Eel
Sailfin Pleco
Whiptail Cat
Royal Farlowella CAt
Black Shark
Double Full Red Cockatoo
Royal Pleco
Rainbow Shark
Pacu
Mango Pleco
Magnum Pleco
Redfin Cactus Pleco
White Pearl Fish
Tamandua Knife Fish
Marbled Albino Lungfish
Chrimson Tide Cichlid
Christmas Fulu Cichlid
Mwanza Gulf Cichlid
Brichardi Albino Cichlid
Bolivian Ram
Black Ghost Knife
Musky
Emperor Snakehead
Aba Aba Knife Fish
Channa Aurantimaculata
Axolotl
Chinese Water Dragon
Iridescent Shark
Payara Vampire
African Goliath
Russian Sturgeon
Freshwater Mussels
With that being said lol. I know these are aggressive fish. But I thought the high number of fish would calm the aggression. Tell me what species you think I should take out, or add also. The tank will be very deep and wide and moderately long from front to back. So what Plants should I use? I'm going for a clean exotic and busy look. Lots of greenery, driftwood, and rock.
Also one other thing. How much will it cost to run the tank? Is there anyway to get by filtering the water 24/7 due to it's enormous size? Thank you.

You will get LOTS of replies...the fresh section hasn't had any recent large tank threads.
