Re: predator tank fish options
A 125 is waaaaaay to small for a sting ray. Not even really enough for a fresh water ray let alone a salty one. The eel might even be cramped in there.

Re: predator tank fish options
The lionfish, hawkfish, trigger, puffer and small eel would be okay in a 125. But if you were going to buy a trigger for a predator tank, why oh why would you buy a boring old niger trigger????????? There are soooo many awesome looking triggers out there that hardly anyone keeps because they have to be kept in predator tanks! If you want a trigger, at least get a cool looking one!
Keep in mind if you want a predator tank, you will have to have a REALLY good protein skimmer. Predators produce a lot of waste and water quality easily becomes a problem.

Re: predator tank fish options
o.k so i should get a different triggerfish becuase the niger is reef safe?, and what else are there. money limit 70$ at most.
For protein skimming we are getting a 20 gallon fuge and a aquatraders skimmer or a 125 coralife skimmer if we can find a cheap working one off ebay.and uv steralizer beacuse we dont want to have spant 200 or more on fish and they all die because of ich or somthing, plus i dont want to be sticking my arm into a preadator tank to clean algea or red slime off the rock sand,and glass
