Oh I don't know.... A large pool with a chiller and heat plate exchanger. Perhaps a dozen metal halides. Rapid sand filtration (reverse flow) with a trickle filter; complete with protein skimmer,refugium, ozone and UV sterilization. I imagine you wouldn't need to go as delicate as Instant Ocean, but you would need a good brine mix for skin care and gland health. A wave machine could be built with dump-bucket style mechanics......
Of course I am kidding (to some extent). It would be immensely costly to fabricate the enclosure and no guarantee that you could still meet their needs. This is why they are not exhibited at zoos and aquariums.
Personally, I still want a giant squid for a pet! I can feed it old ships and one-legged sailors! Soooooooo cool!
