I just got a job cleaning a tank for a hospital in town. the tank is about 400 gallons. has a twin tube floursent light. its in a shpere shape. Right now it has a 12in Queen trigger, 6in picasso trigger, 10in hind grouper or thats what they told me, and a 7in soldier fish. want more color in the tank for decor they just have lace rock and a few pieces of dead coral. So if anyone has any ideas for the decor or fish . it would b greatly appreciated. they are open to geting rid sum of the old fish and geting new. thanks

Sounds as if the tank was set up as an aggressive/predator fish tank. It's the right size for one!

The more rock and decor in such a tank, the more the inhabitants will move them around. Such 'bossy fishes' will often redecorate as they see fit, so the sparse decor is reasonable with those fishes.

The world is your oyster. You can make it any kind of tank you want. If you plan on a FOWLR tank then you want to remove all fish, add more live rock, substrate and such, and start from the beginning with these directions: Setting Up a FOWLR Aquarium

I never make suggestions you ask for because, it's their/your project and it should be what you/they want it to be. It sounds like a very exciting project.

Good luck with it! Ask if you have detailed questions about the above link or any of the links you'll find in the above link. Look through other posts in these Forums, too:

The first thing I would do is get rid of the lace rock and add live rock not only would this look more natural but it would help with filtering the aquarium.
