I am now wondering what to do. Some of the marine fish and corals looked pretty good but I also like quite big tropical's. I could probably put a marine tank downstairs but a large tropical would have to go upstairs in my bedroom. What do you think I should do?

Yeah I would probably prefer a fun tank. I know what you mean if I was for example I was designing a offices for a company and they wanted a tank then sw no contest. I would like some nice looking monsters (I love ezman's solid blue aro it rocks!). I would also like some evil looking fish maby a small gar? I was at a fish shop and saw toy balls meant for cats in a oscar tank. Do the oscars push them around or do you think it was just to make the tank look good?

Also I guess you cant mess on with new idea's of lighting etc in a sw cause some of the corals are more sensitive. My dream 'monster' tank would be a giant aquarium sea world size with killer whales.

LOL I gotta try that. Can they break the plastic to get it out? I am definatly getting one of those tanks nearly definatly 7ft fw the only thing I am unsure of is when. Is there much use getting a sump or can I just have a big external? Also what fish would you reccomend I get for it? (I want cheap for the first few months then when it gets settled I am going to get a gold aro from my lfs.) I also was at this place which can get 2 types of singepour arowanas in and loads of others. The person who was in charge of the fish department loved aro's so he tried to order the nice ones in.
