With a lot of the work I'm doing with the reptile rescue, training some birds for free-flight demonstrations, among other things I'm working on, my 125gal predatory tank is starting to look neglected.
my fish are big fat & happy, but my rocks are covered in algae, my wrasse, lion, and triggerfish have eaten all my crabs and snails.

I'm trying to find some good pics of basic predatory tanks. My idea is to remove most of the rock except for a few cool looking pieces. Bury some PVC pipe under the sand for tunnels, and maybe get a few cool looking pots & columns to put in the tank for decor.
I want a fairly basic looking setup. I've seen some nice clean looking shark & ray setups here and there, but am really looking for some pics to try to map my tank out. Let me see what you got.
 
Ok, so this is what I got after removing a bunch of the rock.
I plan on adding some pilliars/columns (think greek columns)
running some PVC tubes underneath the sand
Adding a couple rustic looking ceramic pots
I may still remove a few of the remaining pieces of rock & coral depending on the decor I get.

I would like suggestions on eel species that will co-exist with my current inhabitants, and are fairly active in the open. I know it's not an eel, but I've always liked the personality of the green carpet gobies.
Current inhabitants are:
White Spotted grouper
Pinkface wrasse
Volitan lionfish
black velvet damsel
foxface
undulated Triggerfish
