4x2x2 Stocking and setup help

Hi Guys,

Ive got a nice oak cabinet in my garage, footprint of 4x2', its rock solid and would be perfect for a 4x2x2!

What capacity is that? Calculators say different things... is 100g the general capacity of that tank?

Anyway, my 65 currently houses a 4'' IT, a 4'' AT, a 5'' senegal and a 4'' delhezi. Will be adding 2 of my GFs angels once they grow out.

Could I stock more in the 100g? i doubt I could have more dats unless I was happy to thin out the numbers as they grow, but what about the poly's? could I add an ornate to the mix, or do they need a longer footprint?

and filtration, would an FX5 alone or one of the eheim pros be adequate?
Got 2 AC110s on the 65, and looking to go for minimal maintenance, hence the 100g would be in the garage, on a concrete floor, near the garage sink/tub thing. The tank will be barebottom.

Alternatively, is a 48L, 24W and 18H be adequate (6 inches shorter in height, 85G)

Thanks MFK

How can that be? my 65 is a 4x1.5x1.5, in theory a 4x2x2 cant be double?

Okay I believe you guys now

So what about stocking and filtration?
Sump is out of the question btw. has to be a big canister. Price doesnt matter too much, but lower power usage preferably - but push come to shove, an Fx5 would be fine.

FX5 Would suffice IMO, The stock seems minimal at the moment, I'd definitly add more bichirs.

mmm yes. is the footprint big enough for an ornate to be happy in?
