Sounds like a plan and IMO, your fish would be fine in something that size although, that Panther is going to get big enough to eat the rest of your fish and that Angler will have to be moved to a different tank.
I'm planning a 7500gal. system which will be comprised of 2 display tanks, a pond and filtration. We'll have to get together and brain storm, when you start planning. Maybe we can help each other out. I'd love to know how the Nigers are working out...I'd love to have a school of them, as they are a schooling fish, in the wild.
