I think I'm gonna go with multiple species of cichlids in this tank, all of the mentioned ones except dovii. Gonna pick up a pair of red devils maybe. Or maybe get some other large south/central American cichlids. Gonna put some jag/flowerhorn hybrids in here as well. So stock seems pretty full. What do you guys think. Do I have enough room for the stock I mentioned above and about 10 more fish? Thinking about breeding hybrids with other hybrids? Such as jag/flowerhorn with jag/Texas? What do you guys think? What about filtration and heating? Would a 300 watt heater work? I'm getting like 3 very high powered air pumps. Getting an overhead hanging fixture for lighting. Then gonna get misc other things. I might try my luck at a sump? I don't really want to do a sump as I would need to build another like 200 gallon tank just for a sump. So id rather do what I have now which is canisters. Would two fx5's work? That's what I'm planning on doing. Also I'd pick up a high powered pond canister which is for like 1000 gallon ponds. I already have the pump for it. Just need the canister for the pond pump. This tank is gonna be huge! Can't wait to start the build! Saving up every dime I get from next week until august to work on the tank. Hopefully ill have funds for it. My dad probably wouldn't mind helping me out with funding. Gonna make my dad and mom boost up my allowance. So ill get like $40 maybe every 2 weeks. Will this be anywhere close to enough? I know it might be over $1000. The wood and glass should cost around $400. Then the stand and misc tank things should cost another $500. Hopefully I can get me some good and cheap canisters. Might have to make a sump
not good at that as I've never had a sump.
