Preditor tank ideas

[jimsreeftank]

I just picked up a 65 gallon that i will plumb into my existing 220 display. 180 sump system.
I have a Dwarf lion in my reef display and looking to put him into the 65 along with a few cool looking bad *** fish.
Groupers all need a much larger tank- any sugertions?

X2. Greg and Renee really know what they are talking about as well as alot of other good folks. I am in the process of converting my 33g long into a dwarf predator tank once my 90g build is complete (hopefully it will be cycling this month). I have been doing research research on there and it has been a great resource.

Triggers, anglers, stone fish, kling fish, dwarf eels.

Just remember those fish are VERY dirty so if youre plumbing it into a reef be ready for a big increase in bio load.

Triggers will eat the spines on a lionfish and will outgrow a 65g. Anglers are best in a species only tank. They have a very large mouth and can eat a 5-6 inch yellow tang very easily. Everything else that Ender suggested should work as long as they are the smaller of the versions.
