for the big angel, i'm thinkin either a blue ring or emperor, both would look awesome in a 1000 gallon tank

also considering a regal blue tang

also thought of a longnose butterfly

"hey what do you think about a bamboo shark? would be a pretty cool addition"

"My advice would be to construct a robust steel frame within the wall to support the tank, given the substantial weight of a 1000-gallon tank. The dimensions of the tank are crucial in this context, could you please share the planned specifications?"

still trying to nail down the design

Bamboo Shark doesn't do it for me, too aggressive

You're probably better off flattening a non-load bearing wall and having a welder rebuild it with heavy-duty steel, a thousand gallon tank is gonna weigh like 4-5 tonnes when full. That's equivalent to having five cars built into your wall. It's gonna take a lot of work and even more money, but if your dad's paying for it then you don't have to worry about the cost. I'd recommend checking out AC Aquatics, they build great tanks for a reasonable price, their work is top-notch.

And make sure it's on a concrete floor, don't wanna risk the foundation giving in under the weight of that massive tank.
