Ok, King of the deep, and rallysman, i know you can give me a hand here

I would like to get a tank that encorporates oscars, FW rays, Jack Dempsey, and red terrors, and possibly some other larger SA cichlids. I would like to stay within the ranges of 125-220 gallons, but i would like to make a scenario for each of the following tanks

125
150
180
200
210
220

Thank you for your help!

Black wolf.

rays need alot of surface area, so i would say that a 200 or more is a minimum.

I would like to set these tanks up so that the fish are set for life. (except for water changes of course )

pairs when possible, with emphasis on at least one pair of oscars, but one ray is fine

2 oscars
2 JD's
2 RT's
1 ray (which species?? :huh

something along those lines...
