new 285 gal tank.. suggestions?

[giar]

current stock :
1 cross back golden aro 35cm
1 spotted gar 35cm
1 albino red oscar 20cm
1 tiger oscar 18cm
1 female flowerhorn 12cm

tank size 240cm L x 75cm W x 60cm H

can i stock more fish? or it is enough for my current stock?

filters
2x fluval fx6 with 2 liter seachem matrix each (total 4 liter) for bio media.
1 eheim 2260 with 5 liter seachem matrix for bio media and for mechanical i just use some sponges. im making this eheim as my bio factory lol.

im thinking to go with tile floor.. bare bortom is nice but not really appealing to the eyes i think.. and, no substrate as i have had enough with all the vacuuming.. what color of the tiles you think will suit my tank the best? also for the lighting, what types of light do you recommend?..

also last thing, i spilled a bit of water while cleaning the tank, it stuck between the glass and the styrofoam.. is this ok?

Looks great! As far as the spilled water, try and get a little air in between glass and styrofoam to help it dry. Stick a little cardboard in to get a little air flow. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.
Great stock! I wouldn't add much more, it will fill up fast. Maybe a bottom dweller.

well that cardboard thing is too risky i think lol...

if i leave the spilled water there, will there be an issue in the future? or i am just over thinking it?

my gar will eat silver dollar.. he ate my 15 cm asian arowana before.

how about a leopoldi stingray? good or bad idea?

I just meant to add the cardboard as a "shim" to push the foam down a little. Maybe try a toothpick, whatever. Just for a day until moisture dries.
