I dont really have much to add, but Damon mentioned that he thought a 120 is 6 feet. Just want to clarify that a standard 120 is 4 feet long x 2 feet wide. I dont know the height because i dont pay much attention to tank height.
Just thought it would be useful, because the dimensions can sometimes play a role in choice of equipment.
Edit: oh and i forgot to mention.
fw stingrays will not make good tank companions with african cichlids. For one thing, they require much different water parameters and i would fear that some african cichlids (depending upon species) will pick on the gentle ray. Its eyes strike me as a sensitive picking spot.
Plus, the only stingray that would work in a 120 would be a p. reticulata with minimum rockwork and decor and a sand bottom. And many african cichlids prefer a lot of rockwork. Even then, a P. Reticulata would be cramped at full size (Disk diameter 12 inches, it's tail can add another 3/4 of that to its length).
