Drain i made of PVC right into ground drain behind tank... can use sump to drain right into ground or syphon... mush easier this way!

Thanks everyone!... not sure yet havnt really fully decided was thinking a few electric yellows.. maybe couple JD.. i want fish that are colorful and max out between 5" and 10" too big of fish might attack turtles.. too little might get eatin up
 
I'd get a group of Black Barred Silver Dollars, and a male Red tail Giant Gourami..
 
That's the exact same tank as I have lol must be made from the same company at the same time or something.
BTW, if it is the same, then that's a 220g, not a 200. Should be 7'x2'x25''
