Aro will be definitely happy in this tank.
3 feet wide is amazing.

The width is great but a black aro would do much better with more length.

You could do the black aro. Keep in mind though he will be happier in a longer tank. The depth is awesome though. Generally the minimum tank size is at least 2 times the length and 1 times the depth compared to the length of the fish.

its an amazing tank you have there. would look much better if the tank is longer but should be enough for the black aro.

this tank should be fine for your black aro but imo with your list of tankmates you should watch out on your aquarium bioload so better get the best filtration system to get the job done.
