Just Bought A 5000g Tank

[J4MES]

Hi all,

So after some MAJOR house rebuilding and family meetings we decided to go ahead and purchase this beast.

The tank glass is 4 inches thick to retain the pressure of all the water, there is a 3 foot deep bed of sand with large bogwood pieces and very big rocks.
There is also lots of plants.

So basically im just looking for some good stocking ideas. There is already 1 inhabitant, a large red tailed catfish.
Scroll down for a pic of him...


















HAHAHA not really

However what would you all do woth a tank of this size?
