Would a FX5 and a Eheim 2262 or 2260 be too much on a 180 gallon tank? I will have a stingray maybe 2, aro and maybe something else.
 
No the filtration would be fine. May want to research the fish though, aros and stingrays will outgrow a 180g tank.
 
It is going to be a grow out tank. I am in the process of building a pond. I figure if I get this tank I can build the pond slower and take my time. By doing this I hope to avoid any mistakes and not make my basement a pool by something failing.
 
Hello Friends,

I am back after long time. Just an update that since I have started using 2080 some 6 months back, there has been no need for me to carry out any water change (suits me as I am a very lazy chap) but still the water is very clear and only occasional top ups are required for evaporated water. Recently just out of curiosity I opened the filter to check and found it to be in decently good shape. I am sure the filter would have done well for the next 6 months without any maintenance. Though in here I would like to mention that there is not much of bioload in my tank. I have an 2.5 feet jardini with some clown loaches, ghost knifes and similar fish.
