Let the criticism begin!!!

My setup is a 72g bowfront with the following:

1 C. frontosa
1 Gold Severum
1 O. niger
2 Stripped Raphaels
2 Spotted Raphaels
2 Flagtail Portholes
1 Corydoras julii
1 Royal Pleco
1 Chaca chaca
9 Debauwi Cats
24 Neon Tetras
30 Black Neons
10 Zebra Danios
1 Swordtail
5 Dojo Loaches
7 Apple Snails
2 Florida Gar

Filtration:
Biowheel 350 x2
Cascade 500 Canister filter

50% water changes weekly

Water Params:
Ammo=0
Nitrite=0
Nitrate= Trace
pH= 7.2
Temp=82*F


*KEEP IN MIND, THIS IS NOT A PERMANANT HOME FOR MOST OF THESE FISH. THE NEONS/DANIOS AND SWORDTAIL ARE PRETTY UNTIL EATEN, THE GAR WERE FOUND IN THE FEEDER FISH TANK AT PETCO, LOOKING TO REHOME THEM, AND THE NIGER WILL FIND A BETTER HOME IN A FEW MORE INCHES UNLESS A BIGGER TANK COMES MY WAY*

I started with 40 neons and 28 danios
 
Wait...you found gar in the feeder tank at petco? Holy crap. I've heard of crayfish, tadpoles, sunnies, etc...but gar? Nice.
 
Good test kit, actually 3 test kits, all with the same results.
 
His water's fine. Keep in mind VFC, that most of these fish are juvies. 1-4". Plus he feeds like 2-3 times a weeks so there's not alot of food going in and he does 50% WC weekly. more than enough WC for the amount of food fed.

Mark: Post them pics when the wifey gets home. It's a nice tank, show it off
