Hi everyone! New to this forum.
I have been in the world of saltwater and coral reef tanks for many years now. I recently broke down my big 125g tank (72"X18"X23") and have been thinking of ideas for what to do with it when I restart it this summer. I am considering going freshwater for a bit with it; of course nothing is set in stone yet. The system itself has two built in overflows with a 55g sump underneath.
What would you do with this system if it were yours? Everything is on the table as it's just coming up with ideas. Plants, predators, anything. I am used to dealing with very advanced types of corals so high need plants don't scare me at all. Budget is going to be near a couple thousand once I finish selling my corals.
One idea I had was to go heavy on plants and get a large school of small fish for the tank. I also considered piranha but they are illegal to own in my state (Idaho) so that's out. Discuss look very pretty though I have not yet done any research on them at all. I don't know. I am hoping you guys can help me come up with some possible ideas by sharing what you, personally, would do with this tank!
