HI guys, I have a 165 gallon planted tank (150 cm x 60 cm x 70 cm) and I am going to turn it into a Community tank with some cichlids, namely Angels and Rams. Here is the tank.

Of course with the latest looks, the vals are somewhat melted... but no worries about that. This is what my proposed stocking list are based on what is available to me here in Indonesia.

Would love to hear your views on this and what should I do to tweak this setup. Currently there already 40 Cardinals, 10 praecox rainbows (the odd one out from this setup), and 20 horned nerite snails. Any input would be appreciated.
 
I think you're on the right track. If anything, I would advise to stay with just one species of the deeper bodied tetras. Either go all Columbians or all Red Phantoms. The reason is that you'll see mixed groupings which may not look as clean as a singular species group. I've had mixed groups before and always removed one species and added more of the other.
