Well Will, i noticed that you get carried away with alot, now how many tanks you have that your asking so much? And how much experience you have in maintaining marine animals?? Now the blue spotted stingrays even grow larger then 12" and their sting can possibly kill you. I hope you realize that. And i would only suggest that an experience marine hobbyist get`s one these beauties. Well as for an angelfish, now that depends on which, they grow anywhere from 4" over 2', to keep an angelfish for it`s life span, depending on which you would possibly need even a larger tank, lkie a 240 gal tank. So is it your thinking on having the shark and stingray together?, it should be fine, but also keep in mind, this is an aquarium, not the ocean`(s), that any mix of species is a risk being taking. Now if you go with a 125, thats a tank measured 18x18x72", and honestly, to go with a 180 wouldnt do as better much, its still 72" long, thats why i mention to you about the 240 gal tank, it`s 8' long. And if it was you was thinking on having two angelfishes in a 125, it is very risky and even you have a bluegirldled angel in a 75 you still need to change him for a smaller bluegirled angelfish, they grow some 12". Well i really hope you make a right decision here, especially if you only started out few years ago, it`s a big step. Happy New Year`s ><{{{{"> Buddy
:I was thinking along angels, large tang like a unicorn something like that and was planning on like a 125-150 would that size tank be okay? and I know that if I get an aggresive fish I would have to have a larger tank. But I would only get 2 other fish in there. I really want an angel and a large tang. Would these fish be able to live comfortably in with the shark in a 125? Just if you wanted to know it would either be a blue girdled angel or imperator because I just got over the fact that I can't put a blue girdled in my 75 gallon because that would be too cramped. Well sorry for getting a little off the subject but I got carried away. Thanx so much Buddy and the rest of you that answer my many questions!
:thanx,
