If money is not a problem, then a planted tank with a nice pair of discus, lots of cardinal tetra's and some L 046's would look mint. cheers steve

what about a Biotope tank? try and get a breeding pair of rare fish, and do a biotope of their local region? That would be cool
What kind of fish do you like besides discus?

Adding to Jason's idea..

What about a rainbow tank? Australian native biotope?

I would say marine as it's a nice tank. Also would opt for tropheus but anything less than 4ft I'd steer away from them as they need the length to swim about and the ones bring picked on due to there aggression can have adequate space to swim away.
