In a previous thread I was going to start a 90 gallon, since then I found a buyer for my 4yr old peacock bass(BOB), so I have a much larger tank to work with. I am having a very hard time finding information on tanks larger then 250 gallons. I am too hands on/OCD to Hire someone. Can someone please point me in the right direction. Any and All advices is much appreciated..

Large tanks up to 150 are easier than tanks under 50. You can either work to life-scale with a reef that has little fast-moving fishes, in territories much like what they'd have in the wild, or larger species that are showy, but that eventually may take a trout net if you ever have to move them (I have a koi pond with one fellow that takes a salmon net: and medicating him for an eagle-strike was a real operation)...Some reef fish grow over a foot long and live struggling weight is a pita. But---automations can do everything but the water changes, and somebody has figured how to do that if you have the room.
