^^^What he said^^^
I kept a 4' moray (Gymnothorax Undulatus) for 25 years. They (like all predators) make a huge amount of waste that must be taken care of one way or another. I kept it in a 150g tank by itself. Even with 50g water changes every other week, the nitrates were untestable because of the high number. I finally got smart and added a 120g refugium with ~6" DSB. Within weeks, the nitrates went from untestable to unreadable because they were so low.
A 65g, IMO, would be ok for a single dwarf lion or a small Eel. It is way too small for any sort of grouping of triggers, etc like above. It will quickly become a Tank of Terror. The winner will be either the Clown or Undulated Trigger.

but yes my undulate is the biggest an rarely he gets a little territory aggressive but the plus side is I work at a salt aquatics store an I can take him back to the store at any one time if he gets to dumb lol.

Just because your readings are all fine doesnt mean your still not over stocked, fish still need room. The upgrade is a good start but a porcupine puffer gets huge.
