600 gallon stock list. Overstocked or not?

Since I've been seeing a lot of threads on debates on being overstocked I'm curious of what u guys think on my stock plans for my 600 gallon 8'x4'x2.5' being overstocked or not? My ideal stock list would be:

Super Red Asian Arowana
True spotted gar(the real deal not the Florida)
Either a ST or CT or Indo Tiger Datnoid
2 Peacock bass(prefer Orinos)
Short body Redtail catfish(only if I can find one)
Short body paroon shark(again only if can find one)
Tigrinus catfish(if I can't find the short body catfish then I replace them with this)
2 x black rays(male and female)

Technically 8-9 fish total. Tank will be bare bottom (tank painted black on back and bottom panels) with one piece of XXL driftwood in the middle. What do u guys think? Overstocked? Suggestions? If it is I'd better leave and not show my tank here once it's stocked hehe

I bought my tank off of Boydo. The tank has dual internal overflows with inter-loc returns. It came with a bare 160 gallon tank which I'm either gonna use it as a sump or a grow out and get a 180 gallon sump made, it also came with 40 gallons of bio balls and 20 or 30 liters of ceramic rings. It also came with these filters



- Clear Water Sand filter - 100lbs premium sand
- Multi-cyclone 50 debris filter
- Ultima II 2000 filter
- 2 x Nuclear canisters - 25 micron c/w extra element

And he also threw in 5 external return pumps: 2 x 2400gph, 2 x 4500gph and 1 x 8000gph. Most likely only 1 x 4500gph and 8000 gph will be used.

Sounds like a dope tank. Can't wait to see it stocked.

lol, you always do one big driftwood in the middle. Ever thought about doing two smaller peices in the back corners?

Lol we'll see about the driftwood cuz Boydo threw in 4 x XXL driftwood pieces in the package.
