We have a 500 gallon salt water tank that was leaking. (8 ft wide x 4
ft high x 2 ft deep).

It is not repairable and we do not want to spend the 10 grand it will
cost to replace it.

It was suggested that we would be able to utilize the tank as a "dry
tank" which would house shells and dry coral in an attractive display
similar to the one shown here:

Does anyone have a recommendation as to who might be able to design
this for us? We are a business located in Perris, CA (Southern
California)

This sounds very interesting. You might want to repost to
rec.aquaria.marine.reefs, which has tons more traffic. If you end up
doing this, please keep everyone up to date on it!!

Betty,
