Has anyone done a huge 50 gallon tank?

Eventually my freshwater cichlid tank will die and I don't want more cichlids. Has anyone put supershrimp in a "huge" 50 gallon tank?

I'm wondering what the pros/cons are of going really big like that.

It should work just like setting up a small tank...just bigger. The pros are obvious...eventually LOTS of shrimp swimming around. The cons are that initially you won't see too many shrimp unless you go visually "hunting" for them. If you do it, don't forget to start a thread here. :)

Thanks Mustafa. I'm sure it will be awhile before I go that route, but I'll definitely post about it if I do.
