I found a 150 gallon tank for sale i wanna buy. I was wondering if 2 110 aqua clear filters wld be engh for it if not whts better? And for stocking i have 2 tiger oscars to thro into it alrdy and was wondering on tank mates.

Stockin:
2 tiger oscars
1 clown or black knife fish
1 pleco or catfish
1 fire eel

Would that work or wht wld be better? And i was wondering if i cld find a gar that cld live in there for life?

I think a clown knife will get too big for a 150. "True" gars will also outgrow a 150. Needle nose gar would fit, but probably won't work with any other fish you are thinking of.

Yeah gar isn't going to work. I would do a lima cat, a medium pleco like a royal, but not sure there's a knife that would work. If you could find a really big 12"+ BGK maybe, but CK will ge too big.

Did the tank come with filters or the AC110's filters you already have? I would consider adding a 3rd filter down the road, either a big canister like a fx5 or a sump.
