Looking for ideas.

I have a 90 gllon tank currently set up as freshwater, mostly Australian Rainbows. It was a high-tech, CO2 injected planted tank at one time but no longer. Too much "gardening" - a good part of every weekend was spent pruning plants. If I skipped a weekend it would quickly get out of hand. Here's a photo from 2007.

Now it's back to plastic plants and boring-ness. I'd like to convert it to salt water, but need ideas.

I have a reef going in my 36 bow that I'm real happy with - but I don't want to just make a bigger version of it.

What could I do with the 90 gallon that isn't the same thing I already have?

The 36 bow is a "peaceful community" set up with softies, mushrooms, zoas and a couple of LPS. Perhaps the 90 gallon could be an SPS tank.

I always thought the Picasso Trigger was a really cool fish, perhaps a FOWLR with a Picasso as the showpiece? I can't quite picture what a good FOWLR would look like. Anybody have photos of a FOWLR they're particularly proud of?

Any other ideas?
