Lol, fyi, Koi can be pretty dang expensive. I personally would go with large predatory New world cichlids.

I say keep it SA...rays, RTC, arowana OR make it an LFS turn-in rescue tank
Shark!
Also, a reef would probably put the company out of business or something, but man, that would be a sight.

since saltwater would be out of the budget how bout 100 of different community fish with a little key for each species giving its decription and location, ect
im talking guppies, tetras, dwarf puffers, dwarf chichlids or angels, tiny cats small plecos, anything that doesnt get bigger than say 6 or 7 inches. think a couple big schools of neons or other tertas and barbs and maybe a couple of the big non aggressive cichlids as a center piece. different inverts you got that island you could make it into a land type thing for things like freshwater crabs do something different than big fish . i wanna see a huge tank or pond with a bunch of different community fish. kids would love it
since its like a window and if you can get enough sunlight in get a lot of different plants for it. and for that tree maybe keep something right there that likes tree but is afraid of water or something

if it was more than 2' deep i'd say 'pima that ****** up!!!
rays do sound perfect for the tank... but so would a complete biotope. what's the budget like?

Well, obviously if its a huge tank in an office building, you wanna do something that will be nice and showy for something other than just fish people.
Something someone could look at and "get". Sometimes people see big fish and go "thats cool", but would probably want color or something else.
If it were me, I'd totally turn it into an arro tank, but you may wanna do a cichlid tank because people would see TONS of just really brightly colored beautiful fish.
Either way you go, its going to look freggin awesome.
