I have a 265 gallon salt water. It has all the bells and whistles on it. Currently I have one atlantic stingray, one porcupine puffer, and one blue throat trigger.. I am looking to add more life to the tank but i am not sure what to add?? any suggestions?

A large angel or an eel would spice things up. Or maybe a parrotfish. The possibilities are endless.
make sure the puffer isnt picking at the Rays eyes (if its a new addition)
lol... i just noticed we are in the same area..i live in Palm beach also
a large angel may pick at the eyes of the stingray (from wat i hear)
yeah, an eel-puffer-trigger combo should be solid in a 265. id be most concerned with the trigger eventually bugging the ray/everyone. at least he's reef friendly if he murders his tankmates.
I don't think you will have a problem with eye picking on the stingray. because it is a bottomdweller, and most fish will ignore it.
STONEFISH lol extremely venomous, maby not such a good idea with a ray swimming along the bottom. how bout a cowfish, some lookdowns, maby a grouper.
Parrotfish are very nice fish to there tankmates, and make very good additions. You need to know if it is a coral cruncher or not because you can see yourself going back to your lfs in about a week if it is not eating. Most adult parrots will be coral crunchers but young ones like mine can be taught to take prepared foods. Mine takes flakes. They wont bother the stingray either. But you probably need an adult parrot in your tank. So you might ask your supplier to see it feed first.
