I was thinking about it last night and I came up with something great.
Let's say the tank is 20 feet long, 12 feet long, and 5 feet high and let's also say that equals 10k gallons, it doesn't but let's just say it does for now.
So we put a big sheet of acrylic that measures 10 feet long and 12 feet wide on it then we cover it with dirt, plants, moss, and what not. Think of a jungle floor. Also some small jungle like trees.
Next we build a bird cage surrounding the perimeter of the top of the tank, all 20x12 of it. In the tank we'll have a variety of small fish, some minnows, tetras, and some larger fish that will eat some of them. Some snails, crayfish, and lots of plants and driftwood for hiding places. Make it have a nice sand bottom.
Now we get a bunch of small frogs, think dart frogs and such, and let them live on the 10x12 area above the tank. We'll put in some bugs and different things that'll breed and provide a food source.
Now just maybe we'll have a bird or two that'll also live in the cage. It can collect nuts and seeds from the small trees and eat some frogs, bugs, and fish. It'll be a whole ecosystem!

I would do mainly an amazon tank with some non amazon species. RTC, Tiger shovel nose, Arapaima, pacu, Silver aro, common pleco, alligator gar, Oscar, Peacock bass, wolf fish, and if i could i would throw in a Fire eel and some Bichirs. This may be over stocked but this would be what my dream tank consisted of.

My second option would be a native tank to Texas.

I'd troll the crap out of everyone and fill it with nothing but dancing man shrimp....maybe plant it with some anubias snow white....make a monstrous iwagumi thats just fields of white anubias with some overly expensive shrimp in it....bonus points for asian arowana swiming around at the top (I doubt they'd care much for inch long shrimp)

It'd look like underwater dragons flying above underwater mountains surrounded by clouds (I think I also just discovered the only possible good use for the thunderstorm settings that a lot of LED lights have for some reason)
 
All of the fish keepers in American feel your pain on that one bud.
