We'll see on the Pearsei. You really think one is going to get too big for a 180 with tankmates or you think the SDs are too big as tankmates? I am downsizing from 3 pearsei to 1 soon (have someone taking 1, maybe 2 in a week). I've had the cichlids Since March and the biggest is probably only 7". I keep the tank warm and do 2 40% water changes a week but maybe I'm underfeeding.
What would you do with a 125?

A discus tank would work it will also be pretty cool. What other species are you interested in? A group of Angelfish (p. scalare), different types of plecos, or African cichlids?
This is kind of the crux of the issue. If I got a good deal on a 300g I know exactly what I would put in it. A 125 is too small for real monster fish and I already have 3 smaller tanks with community type animals so what goes in this (to me) odd middling tank? There's nothing that jumps out at me but there's a part of me that resists turning down such a good deal and I have a space it would fit in my budding fish room. There's got to be something cool i can do with it.
Definitely no ray there. They need at least a 3 foot wide tank.
