suggestions for 180 gal.

I agree with the idea of making it a cichlid community rather than 1 or 2 monsters. Personally I'd make a community of eartheatars.
I have Steindachneri, Jurapari, Balzanii, Brasiliensis and Surinamensis in my SA tanks. They are wonderful to watch and are a very social cichlid. They prefer to be kept with a group of at least 6 eartheaters, in which they exhibit social behaviour, and can become listless in absence of fellow species. Anyway, thats what I'd do with a spare 180 gallon!
 
My suggestion would be: Send it to me:D

For bigger fish you are probably looking at 1-3 cichlids that max out at 14-18" in which case your deco will be mostly wood , rocks and artificial plants.

Or you could go with planted which would look really cool (not to mention good for the fishes health and stock Altum, Scalare, Meeki or discus to mention a few larger cichlids that won't rearrange the tank much.

Or set up an african reef with lots of colorful fish.

The possibilities are endless - too much work to decide so just send it to me:cool: .
 
LOL, very hard work inxs, but i think i can handle it . BTW i still have not started cycling this thing yet as i just got it into my house yesterday. All i can say is this tank is heavvvvyyyyy. I think one of my balls are on the front lawn somewhere:rolleyes: anyway, great ideas so far, keep em coming
