I just got an extra heater. Its a whisper 30-60 200 watt heater. $23 at walmart. I put it into the 5 gal with the 2 sick clown loaches and cranked it up all the way. It is currently at 86 and climbing. Still applying meds and salt. Planning on doing a 50% water change tonight. They arent looking much better yet but hopefully the temp will help

Just a question for a friend but would a 180 or 210 be sufficient for an Silver Aro, Motoro, and 2-3 Cichla/pbass? Filtration would be an fx5 or other large canister and an AC110 and sponge filters

CHILL OUT LOL!..... i understand its very exciting, first tank and all... you ordered an FX5 for a 55gallon?!? lol wtf.... if your budget is so big, you should have gotten a bigger tank in the first place!?!

And for your arowana question, I think the appropriate section to ask that would be in the Ancient Fish (Arowana section)...

U chill out buddy, im not the one that resorted to all caps, and this isnt my first tank..... its my 7th one currently running, but my biggest. And i want it over filtered so that i have happier healthier fish, is that a problem?
