Empty 40 gallon aquarium, what to put in it?

I have a 40 gallon breeder tank that I'm not exactly sure what to do with. I'd prefer reptiles, and I'm on a slight budget, but I have just about all supplies for all aquatic or reptile species, so it would just be the price of the animal that would matter. Suggestions?

*I already have turtles, a leopard gecko, and a bunch of freshwater fish, so I don't want another of any of those /:

    Fill it with air. Bet you can't fill it to the top ;) I need photographic evidence.

    Keep some animals captive in an environment that is an impossibly small fraction of their natural habitat in terms of space and resources - for fun. Magnificent.

    You could probably advertise to give a home to an aquarium type animal.

    plant cacti in it...there are tons of varieties and they don't require a lot of care.

    They're really easy to care for too because they have a plant based diet and everything.

    Anything you put in a tank that size is going to be too messy and too pricey. I would trade it in for a 20 gallon and stick low maintenance fish in it.
