Tanksize: 5x3x2

Tank volume: 225gals

Filtration: 75gal sump, powered by rio26HF, 1600GPH

Stocklist: (2)20" cuban gars, 16" florida gar, (3)12" florida gars, 17" alligator gar, 13" endlicheri

Feeding regieme: 220g of shrimp 3 times per week as staple diet, with occasional treats of pellets, whole fish and smelt

Waterchange regieme: 25% per week

Substrate: crushed corals and aragonite

pH: 7

MISC notes: The current stocklist minus the 3 small gars have been going on with little to no aggression for about 3 months, while the 3 small gars have been in there for a week or so with no aggression towards them. the tank is starting to look crowded with so many fish, and i will be toning it down to just the 2 cubans, and 2 small spotteds, with more bichirs. i am still looking to getting tropicals, and will add them when i get some, but as solomon said before, 4 large gars in a tank this sized is actually plenty.

nice. we started this on AP sometime back, but just never kept up with it. i would highly suggest adding temperature to this listing as that is one of the primary factors influencing fishes overall...and based on that recommendations can be made on feeding regime and even water changes--
