Question Predator tank change over???

Ok.. so ive had my tank up for awhile with this fasination with a predator tank.. a long standing one.. and well diving in Hawaii only made that worse seeing all the scorpion fishes and eels.

So I need to gage a few things.

1: Tank size, I have a 4x2x2 tank, is that big enough for what I want to do, I would ideally love to do a member of the scorpion family wether that be a rock fish, scorpion fish or frog fish. I would like to do a snowflake eel, and lastly a lionfish.

2: Light reduction, as I would part with my corals so I can reform the rock better for a eel and scorpion fish, I dont think I would need a 8 bulb tek as the only thing I would keep are my beloved sun corals, which as we know are nps corals. So what would be a good option there?

3: Fish, would any of my current stock be retainable, I would like to keep my figi foxface at least, but im assuming I would have to part with paired clowns, yellow tang, mandrin, B-cardinal, lawnmower goby and chromis?

4: Topper, where would be a good place to get a topper for a tank this size so I can contain the eel so he doesnt try to test his air breathing ability??

5: Any other info, im pretty set on doing this, just no timeline yet.. but I need info!
