If you could have any tank, any fish, any corral, what would it be?

For me, I want to run a predator tank one day, that would be the holy grail for me as I think lions, triggers, eels etc. are beautiful!

300G In wall Peninsula
2 or 3 Triggers
A Lionfish
2 Eels

Maybe a Stingray

Cool, oddball predator fish you don't see in the average aquarium. Great aquascape with deep caves and hideouts

Not sure if this is even possible but would love to have a huge predator tank with a reef tank inside. Basically a tank in a tank. Never seen something like that before but would be cool if you could do this and have the best of both worlds.

800g custom peninsula with separate fish room next to tank. Mainly LPS with some scoly’s, acans, and special LPS. Primarily, Anthias shoals, wrasses, and a huge tang gang.
 
I'm currently in the build process of my "dream setup"

Two tank system, one reef (66x30x27) and a FOWLR (120x36x27) peninsula. Quotes for the Reef tank from Felix at ReefSavvy and the large FOWLR I have collected quotes from Miracles and Planet.

Both systems will run into a single large filtration system. FOWLR will have large angles and tangs, sand bottom. The Reef tank will be bare bottom more than likely.

Remote fuge, 80 gallon frag system, live rock bin... I have grand plans with buying a new home the budget just needs to get settled.

The "unknown" thread in my signature is this build.

although most triggers cant be kept with lions unless it some xanthichthys trigger or the pinktail and niger triggers that are more placid but undulate, bluelined, queen, clown, rhinecanthus are a def nono
and triggers will also nip rays

but my dream tank is similar:
~2000+ to gallon softie and LPS reef
3 radiata lionfish
3 antennata lionfish
1 mombassae lionfish
1 volitans lionfish
2 cortez round rays
1 epaulette shark
1 coral catshark
1 speckled carpet shark
1 shortail nurse shark
1 bamboo shark
1 black edge moray
1 leopard hind/grouper
1 yellowhead moray OR milliaris moray OR jeweled moray OR chainlink moray
1 inimicus didactylus
1 rhinopias scorpionfish
1 barbfish scorpionfish
1 waspfish
1 toadfish

kenya tree + pulsing xenia mixed together mixed forest
GSP rock mound / GSP wall
mushroom / disc anemones an fungia and favia surrounding the bottom of the rockwork with torches and hammers there too around the bottom and on sand and other LPS
a huge leathercoral up on the top
macroalgae like red ogo and dragon's breath and caulerpa filling in the empty gaps between corals
2 tridcna crocea and 1 tridacna squamosa and 1 tridacna derasa and 1 tridacna maxima
a ton of featherduster worms
some tunicates ( sea apple, sea squirts) and scallops
