a jebo canister rated for 100gals i think if not more and a Cascade 1500 but dose are for a 120 gal i want soon idk how would you guys do it and would any rays work in this tank
 
You already have multiple fish that will outgrow that tank so until they are upgraded I would recommend not adding anything, focus on the upgrade first.

Wow, I'm starting to have some wild ideas too.

Anyhow, I have a pretty similar set up to yours at first (200g + fx5 only + similar bioload) and I can say that the fx5 was not enough (both bio and mechanical filter). So I added a 2217 (mostly for polishing and a little bio) and it was barely holding on. I have to do a water change every 1-2 weeks. I feed sparingly also, about 3x per week. Then I added a 2260 (similar to FX5) and everything was great. In conclusion, I think you will need a 2nd FX5 down the line if you start to feed those beasts of yours. I see that you are willing to use a no-brand filter (jebo), so you might consider looking into the sunsun filter (similar to FX5 for $100ish shipped with media) that seems to be gaining popularity on this forum. I might consider it myself :naughty:
Best of luck

Get a bigger tank, or sell some of your fish. It isn't that you have to many fish. It's that the ones you have get to big. Specifically the catfish.

A 180 is the perfect size for larger SA cichlids.
 
what would you guys take out from this list and what would you add
 
I'd Take all of them out and go with some SA cichlids.
