thats approximatly 200 gallons?.....I would do a sump(or if you want to save big$)... 2ac110s and 2-3 big sponge filters.... heater approx. 400-500 total watts...fish....DOVI or a community of med cichlids(tex - jd size...)

a dovii is the meanest cichlid that you can get... oscars are much less aggressive

YES they are awsome fish! but in a 200 gallon would prob need to be solo(they get BIG... AND AGGRESSIVE).... if you like oscars a community setting could be NICE maybe a severum or 2.... and a green terror or jack dempsey....there are LOTS OF OPTIONS ...keep that DOVI in mind though ... you can prob. put a big cat or pleco with him... just unlikly that a cichlid would work....

Adult dovii don't have friends, just chew toys / lunch, or abused partners.

how many can you have together ? and being aggressive im a guessing you would put much else with them !! oh you were right about the 200 gallon thing its just shy at about 197 gallons , im struggling to find the ac110 do you have a link to them or know of any website i can view them ?

i love this !

im very tempted on the Dovii now ! i bought the tank for Oscars but i think a Dovii is just the job to scare the kids !

aqua clear 110... the rolls royce of hob filters!! add a couple of sponge filters to the mix... you can run these on powerheads OR air pumps (and they are cheap!) and they are GREAT bio- filters...
