What Would You Do With A 180?

[TMF89]

My buddy and I may be getting one, and I'll eventually buy it from him (he sees it as a business investment lol). So go crazy guys. I'm thinking NW cichlids, I'm already raising juvenile JD, Convict, Firemouth, GT, and Salvini. I think it'd be really cool to have a ray, so maybe one of the smaller ones? I think I could do a sweet South/Central American setup. If I go that route (or any freshwater) I'll probably wind up rescuing a XL pleco from a LFS, or do I have other options for algae control?

But I digress, I'm interested in your ideas guys, go crazy! Big predator African cichlid tank? Reef? FOWLR? I kind of like the idea of a native setup, because I'm a huge fisherman, as are all my friends. But again, I want to hear what you guys think. And PLEASE, if you or anyone you know has a 180, lets see some photos! Thanks guys.

Giant shoal of blue torpedo sharks. Like, 30. With tons of water flow in a twilit river setting. I'd just call it "The Swarm".

I would do either a native tank or a single large predatory fish like a wolf fish or something similar

 

[oscaroo]

Oscars, Severums and chocolate cichlids

fire eel and angel fish or Red Festae pair or a couple of venny pike cichlids or a fahaka puffer....theres alot of options

CA community tank

 

[Allan01230]

African haps like tyranochromis and fussochromis and the like. Big Synodontis Angelicas for the bottom. This would be a colorful active tank.

I would do Jack Dempsey (breeding pair), Green Terror (breeding pair), Single Jag, 10-20 freshwater clams for crystal clear water (check ebay if interested in these), Convict (breeding pair), Possibly oscar breeding pair? (would do it if i had any more room) But thats just my amateur choices as these are my favorite cichlids currently. So thats what i would personally do. But, the clams are a little bit of a stretch as they will most likely be killed. But i am on the clam idea as they keep nitrites/nitrates down. So with a cichlid stock there will commonly be alot of waste. So if you want clams, check ebay as they can run in the $20 range for like 30 clams. But good luck!
