Predator tanks


Hello everyone!!!! I am fairly new to the gane and currently have a 200 gal deep dimension tank (4x3x3). I have 2 4 ft matal halides, an octo protein skimmer, 100 gal sump, etc. It currently is filled with corals, mostly LPS and I am thinking about switching to a predatoer tank. Can anyone tell me if my tank is big enough to house a small shark, couple of stingrays, trigger, flounder, lion and a few others down the road?

Also if anyone has a list of predator fish that they have had before and did good that would be approciated.

You could probably accomodate a large Volitan Lion and a few triggers, but the tank is small for even cat or bamboo sharks, stingrays need a lot of open sandy area and adequate food supply to feed on

Thank you both for helping me change my mind. I think I will keep it a coral reef tank, since I have so much $$$$ in rock and coral already and I LOVE CORAL!!!!!
