Turning my 75 gallon into a monster growout. They'll get switched with the fish in my 180 gallon once they get some size. All the fish will be about 2 inches when purchased. I'll move the fish at around 4 inches.
Think it will work? By the way, my previous GT was pretty mellow, got wooped by a Convict less than half his size.

List:
1 Green Terror
1 Tiger Oscar
1 Gold Severum
1 Synodontis multipunctatus
1 Chocolate Cichlid
 
5-6 months tops.......Easiest wat to estimate the growth managment is always look at the Oscar.......No matter what, a 1-2 inch Oscar will reach 5 inches within 6 months of being purchase..........Territories kick in way before this too.........But Oscars are more tolerant than most....Just look at the Oscar......If the O is too aggressive, take him out and place into the 180....If the O is picked on, then the other fish are ready for the 180.........I really have a liking for oscars, they have always been my favorite cichlid.......But, yeah, five, six months top for this growout "community" to hit boiling point, or Ammonia boiling point.....Remember to do 50% weekly water changes........
 
Luckily for me I do 50% changes 2 times a week, I also have 2 new filters rated up to 100 gallons each, and I have a hose that easily reaches from the sink to the tank, along with a big pump that fits the hose.
 
Nevermind, I'll explain in another thread.
