Well, I finally found a good deal on a large tank :D I paid $350 for....150g 72" x 18" x 28" Perfecto Tank in great condition, new Perfecto glass tops, Coralife 4 lamp 96w unit with fans and Led moon lighting, AGA modern series oak cabinet and oak canopy - old style, Proclear 300 wet/dry filter with bio balls and hang on overflow box including all the plumbing, 200W Jager heater, Supreme Magdrive pump, Coralife 18w sterilizer. I kinda thought is was too good to be true so I wasn't really prepared to buy anything buy I sure was wrong. I brought home everything except the tank and stand since I couldn't fit them in my Jeep. I'm going back to get the rest on Thurs and post up some pics.

In the meantime, I was thinking of a good stock list and was wondering if I could I do:
1 x Male Trimac
1 x Male Jag
1 x Male Carpinite
? x Silver Dollars
Bottom feeder that could hold thier own. Recommendations???

Also, if I just kept a pair in there, would it be too small for a breeding pair of Trimacs?

Let me know what you think.
 
lol I was thinking to myself $350 isn't that great for a 150gallon until I read what it came with. Thats a pretty boring stocklist IMO, real aggressive too. It would be perfect for a pair of breeding trimacs though. From your stocklist you look overstocked. I'd throw your 8 trimacs from your 55gallon in the 150 once cycled, let a pair form and get rid of the others. Then you can throw your gt's in the 55.

i agree with him
personally id stick with the CA theme
maybe a pair of vieja
i always though it would be cool to do a huge cryptoheros setup, really rocky and woody with harems of Nanoleutus, Myrnae, panamensis, cutteri, HRP, etc
