I’d stock a 150 with 100 fish over time. Get a pair of large canisters and feed aggressively and you’ll be fine. Remember overstocking reduces aggression.

Sand prevents gaps where oxygen can get to creating that low oxygen environment anaerobic bacteria need to multiply. Your shell and gravel substrate allows increased water flow where oxygen has the opportunity to sit. You likely have tons of aerobic bacteria thus increased capacity to handle ammonia and overall bio load but also an increase in nitrate production. The key is finding a balance between the two kinds of bacteria. Think sw where we have invertebrates digging into deep sand beds turning it over slowly and over long periods of time we can get the same results in a cichlid tank without these extra critters.
I have 3D backgrounds in all my tanks. When fish get behind I just net them. The catfish like to slither over the top.
I didn’t know tempered glass could be drilled. Any idea how that was done? Great looking tank btw.
Thanks. I guess I need to read up more on glass. I didn’t know there was a process to temper it.
