Wouldn't that depend on the size of the fish and/or predator?

whats the predator your looking at getting??? if its a shark, i've its very inhuman to keep it in anything smaller than 250-300 gal and needs to have a sand bed. thats why i wish we had a municipal or public aquarium here in Jax. i think the wife and i are gonna go to the Atlanta Aquarium. 2 whale sharks and an absolutely awesome looking reef tank, oh yeah ^_-

I was thinking of a lion fish, some triggers, and a puffer of some kind. Yea I got to take the family up to the Alanta to see the big Aquarium. When I lived up in PA I would goto Baltimore's Aquarium all the time.

Go for the largest tank you can get. FO Aggressives produce a lot of waste & also need a lot of swimming room to prevent too much aggression.

I ran a FO aggressive in a 360 gallon for several years (lions, triggers, puffers, etc.)

I agree go for the largest you can afford. I also say get the longest you can so the fish have tons of room to swim back and forth.
