My advice is pick one style tank and go with that. I would either go rift lake (you have a bumblebee cichlid in there), Central American semi-aggressive (amatitlania nigrofasciata I see in the corner), or predatory(the gars). I think you'll end up with issues trying to house all of these together

Pack either one corner or 40% of one side with rock caves. That what I am going to do with my tank.
Current tank design

Thanks alot guys... the bumblebee was a temporary... but I decided on a aggressive tank... I have a flowerhorn 4" and a red devil 4"... I dont plan on keeping the con in there very long, maybe a few months.. but do you guys think a flowerhorn and a male red devil will work?

If its a 6 ft tank, it might for a little while... if its only a 4 ft tank, I'd bet on the red devil cleaning house and claiming all 120g to himself. No guarantees either way, aggressive CA cichlids just aren't good community fish.

That may not work out either... they may end up tearing them to shreds. You'd be much better off with a hard scape of just rocks/driftwood. Could try adding a couple plants for a few weeks just to see how they react to them

Looking at the 1st picture and the spacing on the emperor 400 filters I would say its the standard 4'x2' 120 I would say pick one of the 2 and make it a wet pet. No tank mates.

Whats the minimum tank size for a red devil? Might have to just get him another tank

I think you could keep one or the other in that size

+1... but I'd say the flowerhorn would be more comfortable in the 75g and a 125g would be more appropriate for a full grown red devil.
