I have 180 gallon aquarium that have two drilled holes was for a salt/reef tank. I wanted to use it as a freshwater tank. I need to know a few things so I don't waste cash. Here is my equipment I'm using, 2 aqua clear 110 500gph=1000gph
60 gallon tank DIY sump, with a return pump rated at 1500 gph at four feet. Heater and light. Not gonna grow live plants so cheap lighting.
Stock list, 8 angelfish, 10 discus, 20tetra (10serpae,10 rummy reds),12 Cory (6emeralds, 6Swartz)
Question
1.) would I do the sump the same as a marine tank without a skimmer?
2.) 2500 too much gph?
3.) am I over stocked?
4.) if not anything I could add?
 
1. yes plumb the sump. same thing just without the skimmer.
2. gph is ok
3. no you are not overstock
4. add more fish?

update us with some pics :)
